Tags: Temple, Religious

The ancient and revered Shiva temple located in Ambarnath close to Karnala is assumed to be built by Manmuniraja of Shilahara dynasty in 1060 AD. This is one of the temples where both cults of Vaishnavites and Shivaites offer prayers. The exterior of the temple is adorned with sculptured images of epic stories and of themes related to Vaishanava and Shaiva puranas.

The temple interior is covered with breath taking carvings and the mastery with which the images are made really amazes any visitor. The temple is thronged by the devotees on Shivarathri day.
