Apart from Somnath, Nageshwar is another Jyotirling in the western state of Gujarat. Located near Dwarka, on the way to Bet-Dwaraka, this sacred shrine is believed to be known as 'Darukavana', an ancient epic name of a forest in India. One of the seven sacred cities or ‘Sapta Puris’ as well as one of the four ‘dhams’ - supreme pilgrim centers, Dwarka was once the capital of Lord Krishna’s kingdom.

A land of myth and legends, coveted since antiquity for its spirituality. A 25 meter Shiva idol is also enshrined in the temple complex. A large garden with a pond adds charm to this rather serene place. Some archaeological excavations claim five earlier cities at the site.
