The Gaumukh Temple is a popular pilgrimage site located in the beautiful hill station of Mount Abu in Rajasthan, India. This temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and is known for its unique architecture and serene surroundings. The name "Gaumukh" literally translates to "cow's mouth" in Hindi, and the temple gets its name from a natural spring that flows out of a rock shaped like a cow's mouth.
The Gaumukh Temple is built in a traditional Rajasthani style of architecture, with intricate carvings and beautiful stonework. The temple is located at the mouth of a gorge, and the natural spring flows into a sacred kund (tank) where devotees come to bathe and seek blessings. The temple complex also includes a small shrine dedicated to Nandi, the sacred bull who is believed to be the mount of Lord Shiva.
The Gaumukh Temple has a long and fascinating history, dating back to ancient times. It is believed that the temple was founded by Sage Vashishtha, a revered sage in Hindu mythology. According to legend, Lord Shiva himself appeared in the form of a cow to Sage Vashishtha at this sacred spot, which is why the temple is considered to be a highly auspicious and holy place.
