The great theme behind building this temple was to accommodate the great number of Hindu gods and goddesses in a single temple complex. These premises are operated and looked after privately by a trust. Special Makrana marble was used in the construction of this incredible abode of gods, which was shaped by the artistic hands of Rajasthani sculptors, much popular in creating marvelous structures from marble. The visitors can view and worship the replicas of twelve Jyotirlinga’s which are supposed to be the places of prime religious importance. There is a mythological legend which describes the significance of these places having the explicit
Jyotirlinga’s. The best time to visit
