Achal Nath Shivalaya is one of the most revered and ancient temples located in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India. It was constructed by Nanak Devi, the queen of Rao Ganga, the then-ruler of Jodhpur, in the year 1531 AD. The temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and represents a significant religious heritage of the city. Achal Nath Shivalaya showcases the typical Rajasthani style of architecture with intricately carved stonework, beautiful pillars, and an aesthetically designed hall called 'Garbha Griha' in which the idol of Lord Shiva is placed. A large water reservoir called 'Bawari' is also part of the temple complex, which was the primary source of water during ancient times. The temple, apart from being a spiritual hub, attracts numerous tourists and art enthusiasts who come to marvel at its architectural magnificence and its serene environment. It offers a peaceful retreat from the bustling city life, and the chantings of the mantras create a divine ambiance that engulfs visitors. Achal Nath Shivalaya is not just a sacred place but also a testament to the rich cultural and religious tapestry of Jodhpur.

Lord Shiva Temple
This temple is very near to Kunj Bihari Temple, so you can visit both the temples at a time. The temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva. Better to reach there at Aarti time.
