Gangeshwar Mahadev Temple- Diu

It is a very humble place with unpretentious entry. The temple is a few steps below, around a curve. So one is really unprepared for the beautiful sight that awaits around the corner.
The temple has pancha linga (5 lingas) which is constantly washed by the waves from the Arabian sea.
One can sit there and keep watching the scene of the waves washing the idols on and on.
The word Gangeshwar refers to lord Shiva who is considered the lord of Ganga because the river descended primary earth from beginning to end his tresses. Gangeshwar Temple is, therefore, committed to him. Gangeshwar temple is located in village Fadum; it is just 3 kilometers away From Diu.

The Gangeshwar Mandir is located close to the sea shore .The most amazing characteristic of the Gangeshwar temple is five Shivlinga.
