    One of the most historical and spiritual temple of Valsad. This is a beautiful Shiva temple with a very unique Shivalinga. It is believed that Shiva here is in sleeping position, looking up at the sky. Due to which the temple has an open to sky garbhgriha. One of the oldest and divine temple, with an amazing garden in its surroundings.

    Har har mahadev 🙏🙏🙏🙏Tadkeshwar Mahadev temple is a Hindu temple.It is located near Abrama town in Valsad district of the Indian state of Gujarat. The temple is on the bank of the Wanki river. The Tadkeshwar Mahadev Temple is famous for the Various types of Shivling. Since there is no ceiling and the sun shines over the Shivlings continuously, the name ‘Tadkeshwar’ is given to the temple (where tadko-is sunlight Gujarat language). It’s called as Tadkeshwar because there is no roof and heard that constant sunlight should touch the Shivling.Valsad railway station is a major railway station, and connects this city to a number of other major cities. Railway Station(s): valsad (BL), atul (ATUL)

    It is a temple with open ceiling. It's significant as it is been many tries but not able to build it. No photos are allowed. There is a big shivling there about 5 ft in length.

    🔹Very divine experiences . 🔹Very clean temple. Area around the temple is very big , beautiful and clean. It's a SWAYAMBHU SHIVALING. Here the trustees tried to make cealing three times ( the central dome ). But it broke after, every time. So now there is no dome exactly on the SHIVLING. In the afternoon the sunrays directly fall on this SHIVLING ( TADAKO ,in gujarati language ) so the name of the temple is TADAKA + ISHWAR = TADAKESHWAR. 🔹Here even who believe in lord Shivaji , can go for marriage ceremony also. There is an area on the south of the temple , where marriage ceremony with around 150 people can be done. 🔹In this temple , other than Mahadev Shivaling , ma Parvatimata , Shree Ganapati bappa , Shree Hanuman dada , Shree Baliya dev , ma Shitala devi idols are there. 🔹On the south side of the temple is a river called Vanki Nadi. 🔹Big parking area is available. 🔹Washroom out side the temple compound is available. 🔹Very beautiful greenary and garden is around the temple. 🔹There slides, swings , see saw and many more for the children to play. 🔹There are CCTV cameras for the safety.

    A place which is having radiant history, a place which should be pride of all lord shiva devotees, a place where shiva lingam is in original and in a different form. A famous and old yet recently resonated beautiful temple of lord shiva and its history will enchant you with amazement. Must visit place if you are visiting Valsad.

    Tadkeshwar Mahadev Temple🛕 is a very nice temple. Their old story there is the most inspirational. This is a very old story and the significance of it is immense because the way the temple was established, it was done a long time ago. The Mahadev temple which is there, which is the Nageshwar temple, its stone was found from the river many years ago. And after that as this temple was established. The tower that is there cannot be built because Tadkeshwar means that God needs incense in that temple. He doesn't have pride because of his need of sunshine, so their auto biography was what I liked the most, so this is very amazing temple four visitors.

    This temple has an 800year history. Probably the only temple which has an open roof. It is said many attempts were made to cover the roof but all of them failed.

    Har har Mahadev... This is the only mahadev temple may be in whole world who doesn't have a peak on temple. It is believed that many times people had tried to construct peak but automatically it gets dissolve. As tadkeshwar mahadev wants peak to stay open so direct sun rays, rain falls on Tadkeshwar Mahadev Shivlingam. This temple is located in valsad since 800 years or may be older than.

    It is a unique temple with unique history regarding the "Shivlinga" the idol of Lord Shiva called "Tadkeshwar" which means Lord of Sun and sunlight. There is no celling on this temple and direct sunlight falls on the idol "Shivlinga" in the lying(sleeping) position looks like and paying prayers and honor the Lord Shiva. Very holy and spiritual atmosphere in and around the temple. Very authentic and cultural activities happens here.
