Shri Mankameshwar Temple, Agra

The Shri Mankameshwar Temple features a dark, smooth Shiva Linga covered in silver that draws constant crowds of devotees. Located in the heart of the old city, this ancient site honors Shiva, who supposedly visited this spot while Krishna was born in nearby Mathura. Local legends claim that the Shiva Linga was installed by Lord Shiva himself. Every Monday, the temple fills with long lines of worshippers who circle the inner sanctum, hoping that their sincere prayers will grant their deepest wishes.
