The Nagnath Temple, also known as the Nageshwar Jyotirlinga, is situated in Aundha Nagnath in the Hingoli district of Maharashtra. The temple showcases architectural beauty in its design and structure. It's a place where devotees gather to offer prayers and participate in religious rituals. Devotees visit the temple to seek the blessings of Lord Shiva and to pay homage to the sacred Jyotirlinga. The temple holds significant spiritual value among worshippers of Lord Shiva. Various religious festivals, particularly Maha Shivaratri, draw a large number of devotees to the temple to worship and celebrate. 


According to mythology, after the Kauravas crushed the five Pandavas in a game of dice, the Pandavas were sentenced to 12 years of exile and one year in hiding. Meanwhile, the Pandavas journeyed across India. While walking, they came across a dark woodland. There was a cow in this area; she used to come to the lake every day and provide milk. Bhima noticed this and followed the cow down to the lake the next day, when he spotted Mahadev. He then discovered that the cow milked the Shiva lingam daily. Then the five Pandavas agreed to destroy the lake. Bhima used his mace to strike the water on the four sides of the lake, and everyone saw Mahadev. Shri Krishna informed them about the Shivalinga and identified it as Nageshwar Jyotirlinga. Then the five Pandavas built a splendid, unbroken Jyotirlinga temple on the ground floor.
