This Video is awesome because it starts out with strangers listening to Mom talk. Even on the airplane total strangers would see her and just ask her for help for the most random stuff LOL.
This is the famous Neelkanth Mandir. Ever wonder why Shiv’s got a blue throat? This temple is what honors the place of the famous story where the demons and the gods churned the ocean to get nectar, and of course churned out poison as well. Shiva graciously drank the poison and stopped it in his throat – thus turning it blue.
It’s a major temple/pilgrimage site for any Shiva fan, especially because of what we weren’t allowed to film – the main Shivling on the inside. The shivling naturally grew out of the ground. I hit my head on the short ceiling while trying to get in there, which the priest thought was hilarious ;). A sign of good luck I hope. Seeing a naturally occurring shivling that sprouted out of the ground geologically, perhaps thousands of years ago is pretty amazing. They built the temple around it.
The temple grounds itself are pretty confusing. Mom and I got lost. Twice. It wasn’t until we got through the chaos and saw everything did we actually learn where we were standing!
