Naldeshwar Shrine
The great Lord Shiva is worshipped in the form of the linga, as the idol is the eternal force that is symbolic of the lord. In the 18th century, an eye-opening incident occurred - a naturally formed linga was noticed inside a cave in the hills of Kesroli. A shrine was built inside the cave to protect and pay respect to the natural phenomenon. This shrine later came to be known as Naldeshwar Shrine. People come to visit the shrine not just to see the linga but to view the natural beauty of this place. This holy site is ornamented by two naturally formed ponds that get water from the hills. Adventure seekers can take the help of trekking paths to reach this magical site and seek the blessings of the lord.
