Ancient Nakuleshwar Mahadev Temple: Mahabharata's Nakul connection in Saharanpur

  • Nakur's ancient Shiva temple, Nakuleshwar Mahadev, is linked to Pandava son Nakul from the Mahabharata.
  • Established in the Dvapara Yuga, King Nakul camped here and worshipped Lord Shiva, establishing a Shiva lingam.
  • The town, originally named "Nakul" after the Pandava, later became "Nakur."
  • The Yamuna River once flowed adjacent to Nakur; bathing steps behind the temple still exist as evidence.
  • Thousands of devotees visit, especially during Shravan, from Saharanpur, Haryana, and Punjab, believing wishes are fulfilled.
