Shiva Temple In The Sea

Koliyak is located at a distance of about 23 km to the east of Bhavnagar. It is said that Pandavas established Nishkalank or Nakalank Mahadev on a new moon night of the Indian calendar month of Bhadarva. The famous fair popularly known as ‘Bhadarvi’ is held on the new moon night in month of Sharvan, as per the Indian calender. An idol of god Shankar was established in an island, over the sea about 3 km to the east of Koliyak. This temple can be reached between 9.00 am to 12.00 pm on the day next to the new moon night. It has to be noted that the place gets inundated under the tide so the visitors should leave the place before 1.00 pm

Temple Where Shiva Changes Colors Five Times A Day

I have posted articles on how the rays of the Sun touch the Idol in the sanctum, the shadow of the Idol is present all day, the list is long.

There is an ancient temple near Myiladuthurai, where The Lord Shiva's Idol changes its colors five times a day coinciding with the Kala Pooja, the poojas conducted at fixed hours daily.

Located near Valangaiman/Papanasam near Mayuram,Kalyanasundareswarars?Pancha Varneswarar temple,The Self born idol of Lord Shiva changes colors Five times a Day during the day.

Another unique feature is that there are two Shiv Lingas in the sanctum
