Shiv Mandir, Ambernath

Visiting the 1000-year-old Shiv Mandir temple was an awe-inspiring experience. The ancient architecture and intricate carvings truly showcase the rich cultural heritage of our ancestors. Stepping into the temple felt like stepping back in time, surrounded by centuries of history and spirituality. The serene atmosphere and the palpable sense of reverence make it a must-visit destination for anyone interested in history and culture. Highly recommended for a profound and humbling experience.

One of the oldest temple of Shiva which is app 1000 years old. Beautifully carved temple which is very unique.
No wait usually if one visits early morning before 8 am even on weekends
We were fortune to witness the morning Abhishek and aarti at around 8 am and the experience was truly mesmerizing.
It is ideal to visit by Fast Local train from Dadar which takes an hour and from the station lot of share autos are available which costs Ra 20 per person and one can reach the mandir in 10 minutes. Shops nearby the mandir sells pooja items. No hotels for breakfast and one need to come back to near the railway station for any meals
🙏Har Har Mahadev 🙏

This place is so beautiful.but on that place you must try to visit in the rainy season. Because in the rainy season they look so beautiful.this temples represent the beauty of art of our ancestors.On that tickets are not required free entry to every person.

Visiting Ambarnath temple was an enlightening experience. The ancient architecture and serene ambiance gives us exceptional peaceful vibes.
As I entered the mandir, I was enveloped by a sense of spirituality. The intricate carvings and divine aura of temple is striking.
We got a chance to visit the temple on the auspicious day of chatrapati Shivaji maharaj jayanti which occurred on Monday hence, we have to wait in queue for near about 30/35 minutes to entered mandir. You can plan your visits as such that you can get darshan in the mornings to avoid long queues.
I wholeheartedly recommend Ambarnath Temple to anyone seeking solace, spiritual enlightenment, or simply a moment of serenity amidst life's chaos. It is truly a sanctuary for the soul, waiting to be explored and cherished by all who seek divine grace. And best part is not so far from Mumbai a hour and half drive topmost.

Recently visited the serene Mandir a spiritual haven. The ancient temple exudes peace, offering a profound connection to devotion. A must-visit for those seeking tranquility and cultural richness. 🕉✨

The temple is a locally managed temple by Patil clan who get turn every 4 years to manage the temple. It’s not under unesco so it is not managed as well but it’s a great architecture. Saying is that it was constructed in one day originally by Pandavas and later a king built it fully . The Shikhar is open and truncated and hence the same Ambar Nath as ambar means open sky.

The temple was originally built near a river which seems to have vanished now hence has opening on two sides opposite to allow water to flow through. The Original shilling by Pandavas isbythere and alongside is another one installed by the king in 1000 AD.

It’s a peaceful temple and without much rush . You can go via Bike or car till the temple opening and have Darshan in no time . It’s worth going and seeing how Indian architecture was so fabulous. Go and spend some time.

The architecture is marvel, This is a very beautiful temple. It must have taken us 10 minutes to see Bhagwan Mahadev, I would recommend that you go here once or with your family, it feels very peaceful.

The old shiv mandir exudes a timeless charm with its ancient architecture and spiritual aura. The temple’s aged beauty and sacred atmosphere make it a captivating destination for those seeking a spiritual and historical experience.

Tranquil Evening at Shiv Mandir, Ambarnath

My April 2022 visit to Shiv Mandir in Ambarnath was a serene journey through time, accentuated by the calming presence of the Waldhuni river. Nestled along its banks, this 11th-century Hindu temple exudes tranquility and spiritual grace, especially when experienced in the evening.

Believed to be built in 1060 AD, the temple's unique architecture showcases meticulous craftsmanship. The 20 steps leading to the inner sanctum, Garbhagriha, reveal a Swayambhu Shiv Ling at the center. Constructed in coarse brownish stone typical of the region, the temple's corrugated plan allows for intricate sculptures and decorations, creating a visual feast.

The three porches providing access to the central hall add to the temple's grandeur. Shivratri emerges as a major festival, drawing devotees from across the country to partake in the auspicious celebrations.

My time at Shiv Temple, Ambarnath, transcended a mere visit; it fostered a connection with centuries of history, spirituality, and the possibility of an unfinished tale etched in stone. Amidst the tranquil ambiance and the gentle whispers of the river, this temple stands as a timeless retreat for those seeking peace and a glimpse into India's rich architectural heritage.

The Ancient Shiv Temple is a remarkable and historically significant place. The temple's architecture is ancient inspiring adorned with intricate carvings. It offers a serene and peaceful atmosphere for prayer and reflection. The dedicated priests provide valuable insights into the temple's history and rituals. Surrounded by scenic beauty, the temple is a perfect destination for spiritual seekers.
