Mahuva, an oasis in Gujarat
Mahuva is a small town by the Gulf of Khambhat, 95km from Bhavnagar. It is appreciated for its mild climate and lush vegetation in an otherwise semi-arid region. It’s off the beaten track and the perfect place for those is quest of intriguing little temples, unspoilt countryside and traditional rural life.
Beach and Shiva-Lingam of Pingleshwar ****
Pingleshwar is a small seaside village near Mahuva, reached from there by way of winding lanes.
It is known for the very old Shiva lingam built on a platform in the sea and only visible in the morning at low tide, when it can be reached along a slippery paved path.
The beach – with golden sand and volcanic rocks – is a delight. A saddhu (ascetic) called Gokul Giri lives there under a huge banyan tree. It’s a magnificent place.
Gangajaliya Dada – Bhadrod**
Gangajaliya Dada is a lovely small temple dedicated to Lord Shiva located near Mahuva Bhadrod.
