The Shiv Mandir of Ambarnath is also called the Ambreshwar Shiva Temple. It is situated 2 km away from Ambarnath (East) railway station in Maharashtra, India.
The temple is on the bank of Vadavan (Waldhuni) river. The temple is Hemadpanthi-styled, beautifully carved on stones.
This temple has 20 steps to go down in the main room called Gabhara; and there is one shivling at the center of the room. On the occasion of Mahashivaratri there is a big fair in Ambarnath to get blessings from Lord Shiva. The Mahashivaratri Fair continues for 3-4 days. It starts two days prior to Mahashivaratri and continues for a day after Mahashivaratri.
There are three porches that give access to the central hall of the temple through a vestibule. The priests sit in this portion of the temple. This portion is intricately carved. The roof is supported by an array of pillars, which itself is a piece of art. Never forget to look up at the ceiling with all the details carved in stone. A Nandi (Bull) image is located at the center of the main porch, which is in the west.
