In this video we visited #mamleshwar #temple in the #tapobhoomi of Maharishi #kashyap i.e. #kashmir Valley at #pahalgam . #Mamal Temple or Mamaleshwar Temple is a #hindutemple located in Pahalgam town in Kashmir Valley. It is situated on the banks of #lidderriver at an elevation of 2,200 meters . Mamleshwar Temple is a small shrine with a big story. A gently rippling pool stands in front of its stone edifice, which encloses an old pedestal and a #shivling and is surrounded by the dramatic #himalayas . As the legend goes, this is where the #goddessparvathi had instructed her son, #lordganesha whom she had created herself out of turmeric paste during her husband #lordshiva absence-to stand guard as she bathed. #shiva returns to find his path obstructed by a strange face and beheads Ganesha, only to be met with Parvati’s wrath and the revelation that #ganesha is their child; he replaces Ganesha’s head with that of a elephant, asserting his place as the father.
A 10-minute drive from Pahalgam town, over the rushing Lidder River, brings us to the 4th-century (1600 years old) temple of Mamal (or Mamalaka) village. The origin story of the temple is linked to the phrase “mam mal” or “don’t go”. The all-grey stone structure is barely 8 ft internally, built in the austere #kashmiri architectural style with a two-tiered pyramidal roof; clear blue-green spring waters rise in a 12ft stone basin in front of the porch. A government sign indicates that this could well be the Mameswara Temple that Kalhana’s royal chronicle #Rajatarangini mentions was adorned with a gold finial by King Jayasimha in the 12th century.
