Introduction and History in Brief
The ancient Koteshwar Mahadev Temple of Gwalior is situated at the foot of the fort hill. Legend has it that the Shivling here was earlier on the fort hill, but when Aurangzeb had conquered this fort, his soldiers started breaking the idols installed there. During this Shivling was thrown down from the mountain. Soldiers were sent to damage this Shivling of Koteshwar Mahadev, but many snakes came there to protect it. He blocked the way of the soldiers.
For many years this Shivling remained in the foothills. People related to the temple say that Sant Dev Maharaj had a vision of this Shivling. On the request of Mahant Dev Maharaj, this Shivling was established by law. Later in the year 1937.38, Maharaja Jivaji Rao Scindia gave grandeur to the temple. It is said that even today snakes protect this temple.
