TOP 5 MYSTERIOUS TEMPLES IN INDIA

1. HASANAMBA TEMPLE 

THIS TEMPLE IS LOCATED IN KARNATAKA, AND ITS MYSTERY WILL CHANGE YOUR MIND OFF. AN OIL LAMP WHICH WAS LIT BEFORE A YEAR IS STILL BURNING EVEN THE DOORS OF THE TEMPLE OPENED.\

The town Hassan was named after the presiding deity at the Hasanamba Temple. She is called Hasanamba as she is perceived to be ever-smiling, bestowing all riches on her devotees.

While she is worshipped for being benevolent, she is also harsh to those who choose to harm her devotees. There is a belief that Amma Hasanamba turned a mother-in-law, who tortured Devi’s devotee (daughter-in-law) into a stone in front of her. It is believed that the stone moves an inch every year, and when it reaches the lotus feet of Hasanamba, the period of Kali Yuga will end.

Once four robbers attempted to rob jewels of Hasanamba and Devi turned them into stones. And these four stones can still be seen in Kallappa Gudi.

Would you visit a temple that appears and disappears throughout the day? Located close to Vadodara in Gujarat, the Stambheshwar Mahadev temple is one of the most mysterious temples in India that shares shores with the Arabian Sea. Lord Shiva resides here and blesses those who dare to venture into it. It is one of the most famous temples in Gujarat as well as in India.

The only weird thing about this temple is that it can be visited only during hours of low tides. In hours of high tides, the temple is swallowed up completely by the sea, and it reappears hours later when the water descends.

 

5. Nidhivan Temple, Vrindavan: God’s Own Abode

Counted among the top mysterious temples of India, Nidhivan Temple is dedicated to Lord Krishna. It is located in Nidhi Van, which is a dense forest. But the interesting fact here is that the trees here are intertwined with each other, and they flourish with green leaves throughout the year despite the dry region. Moreover, the trunks, roots, and well are hollow from inside, which has grabbed the attention of several curious people.

It is believed that these trees represent ‘gopis’ and depict the symbol of love. Several locals believe that after sunset, Lord Krishna arrives at the temple to do raasleela with the gopis. Many have claimed to hear the sound of ghungroo at night too. These stories have indeed heightened the curiosity level in people, which has ultimately led to a heavy footfall at this temple in Vrindavan.
