Nageshwarnath Temple is an ancient temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, located in the holy city of Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, India. The temple has a significant history and boasts marvelous architecture with beautiful carvings and sculptures depicting various deities and scenes from Hindu mythology. According to legend, this temple was founded by Kush, the son of Lord Rama, the hero of the epic Ramayana, who lost his armlet while bathing in the river Sarayu. It was recovered by a Nag-Kanya (Snake Princess) who fell in love with him, and in honor of this event, Kush established the temple. The Nageshwarnath Temple is one of the few structures in Ayodhya that remained intact despite the city facing many invasions over centuries. During Shivaratri, a grand festival is celebrated here attracting thousands of devotees. The temple serves as a testament to the long-lasting devotion to Lord Shiva and the rich cultural heritage of Ayodhya.
