The Lost Abode of Shiva, Divine Kashmir

Naranag or Wangnath group of temples are heritage archeological site of Kashmir. Filled with rich history of divine mystical Lord Shiva energy, they now lie in ruins. Nestled amidst the holy energetic lands of the Haramukh Mountains, the ethereal abode of Shiva that represents Kundalini power potential; from whom his Shakti in form of Gangabal lake & Nundkol lake flow as kinetic pathways,  completing the Mahā Yantra at Konsernag , where the feet of Lord Viśnu lie  in South Kashmir, Naranag temples potray the Jyeśtarudra and Bhuteśvara forms of Mahādeva. Purana mentions of this place as the hermitage of Riśi Vaśiśtha , a place where Lord Śiva protected Mā Pārvati (she is also known as Jyeśtha) from demons. Hence the Jyeśtharudra & Bhuteśvara form. With rich heritage right from the time of King Jaluka, the son of Samrat Ashoka to the flamboyant charismatic King Lalitaditya Muktapida & finally King Avantivarman, the temple complex now stands in utter ruins with abyss of its past glory & the potential energy it emits.
