Navnath Mahadev

Temple, Vadodara-Baroda By 1 Comment

Navnath actually refers to a group of nine temples dedicated to Lord Shiva. It is believed that these were established by the Rishi Vishwamitra himself when he was doing penance in the area. Apart from this, not much is known about the history of these temples. The Gaekwads started the development of the Navnath temples during the period of 1850 – 1875, with the blessings of a Sadhu of the Nath community. A major renovation work of the temples was undertaken by Maharaja Sayajirao II.
