Shri Mangesh Temple

The Shri Mangesh temple dedicated to Shiva combines a variety of architectural styles. The temple is also considered a cultural center of musicians - various music festivals are constantly held here.

The temple was built in the XVI century. His main deity is the God Mangesh, the manifestation of God Shiva. Several architectural styles are indicated by the tower above the sanctuary, the roof design and facade, made under the influence of Christianity, and the dome of the temple is influenced by Muslim culture.

Entering the temple, you need to purchase a bright orange wreath at the entrance - an offering to the deity of the temple. It should not be sniffed and worn, because the offering should be “clean”. Inside the temple there are many statuettes and flowers with a heady aroma. The floor is paved with marble, the silver altar door is richly decorated with vegetable ornament. In the altar is Shiva Lingam, the golden serpent Shesha and the image of Shiva.
