Koteshwar Mahadev Temple is a sacred cave temple located along the swift, emerald currents of the Alaknanda River in Rudraprayag, resting at an elevation of 895 meters in Uttarakhand. Situated roughly 3 km from the main town confluence, this deeply spiritual subterranean cave features hundreds of naturally formed stalactite and stalagmite rock lingams that drip continuous mineral water across the rocky floor.
According to local Hindu lore, Lord Shiva hid inside these natural riverside limestone caves to meditate while fleeing from the demon Bhasmasura before Lord Vishnu in his Mohini avatar tricked and vanquished the asura. Pilgrims visiting Rudraprayag descend stone stairways to meditate inside the calm, cool cave chamber, offering holy river water and bilva leaves to the swayambhu Shiva lingam before continuing on their mountain pilgrimage.
Koteshwar Mahadev Temple is located 3 km from Rudraprayag main bazaar along a motorable riverside road.
The best time to visit Koteshwar Mahadev is from September to May, particularly during the festive occasion of Maha Shivratri.
