This is one of the famous Shiva temples of India. In this Hindu temple instead of a Shivalinga, there is a Jalandhar that is water flowing from an aquifer below the ground. This natural flow of water is considered to be sacred by the pilgrims and another indication of the presence of Lord Shiva in this place. This Hindu temple has a sacred pipal tree. The surrounding areas of the temple contains bili trees and vakhada trees of historic age. The sacred pipal tree in this temple is very attractive and important for Hindu pilgrims because ancient trees are considered to be sacred and denote good luck, happiness and prosperity.At present a new temple is under construction, hopefully will become a huge tourist spot once completed...

Original and historic is only pimpleshwar mahadev and all other structures are late additions.Dating back to 11th century. .this is only mahadev temple where at shivling is found a cows heel like formation from which water oozes out throughout the year non stop.Legend say a cow from nearby village Landhjan used to milk at a specific point in jungle daily. Curiosity grew and on digging this linga formation discovered and puja begun . locals have many stories related to this place.A new structure is under construction.Some 50 kms from ahmedabad a good half or one day trip but go with own meals.Pujari and staff is cooperative and helpful.Be blessed.
Pimpleshwar Mahadev is a historical Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Shiva and is located in the village of Saldi in Gujarat. The temple is famous for its annual traditional carnival Saladi no Melo that is held on the last Monday of the holy month of Shraavan (August) according to the Hindu calendar. Most temples of Lord Shiva have the Shiva Linga as its idol but this temple has a Jaladhari or a continuous flow of water from an aquifer below the ground. This natural water flow is considered to be the sacred presence of Lord Shiva at this site. Devotees come here from far and wide to pray to the lord and also to cleanse themselves of all the sins.
Pimpleshwar Mahadev (Gujarati: શ્રી પીમ્પ્લેશ્વર મહાદેવ) is a historical Hindu temple of Lord Shiva located in the village of Saldi (District of Mehsana), Gujarat, India. In Hinduism, Lord Shiva is also called Mahadev - The God of all Gods. Pimpleshwar Mahadev is famous for its annual traditional carnival Saladi no Melo (Fun Fare) on the last Monday of the holy month of Shraavan (August) in the Hindu calendar. Most temples of lord Shiva have a unique structure called the Shiv Linga which is considered to be a sacred symbol of Lord Shiva. The Pimpleshwar Mahadev in Saldi does not have the usual Shiv linga. Instead it has a Jaladhari - a continuous flow of water from an aquifer below the ground. This natural water flow is considered to be a sacred sign by the worshipers and another indication of the presence of Lord Shiva at this site.History :Salvabhai Patel, son of Teja Patel, migrated from Champaner, Gujarat and raised his family in the area which ultimately came to be known as Saldi. Approximately 200 years or seven generations following the founding of Saldi village, one of the cows of a herder named Petha Patel was found to be regularly releasing her milk over one location under a Pimpal tree, where the Jaladhari water source was ultimately found. In the Hindu tradition, worshipers of Shiva pay homage to the Shiv linga by pouring milk over it. Thus, the cows offering of her milk at this site without any assistance, led to the people of Saldi to attribute this phenomenon to the presence of Lord Shiva. Since then, the current site of Pimpleshwar Mahadev is considered to be very sacred by the pilgrims and villagers alike, and it has become famous throughout the state of Gujarat over the years.The first temple or shrine was put in place by Petha Patel of Saldi at this site, dating back to the Hindu year Vikram Samvat 1143 (1086 AD). The current building was constructed and renovated by Sayajirao Gaekwad, the ruler of the state Baroda in 1895 during the British colonial era in India.
Har har mahadev... Pimpleshwar mahadev svayambhu shivling at saldi village. Visited in August2018 Temple renovation work in progress. Medo - on Shravan mas last Monday. (Carnival on Shravan month last Monday)History: The first temple was built by Petha Patel of Saldi dating back to the 1086 AD. The current building was constructed and renovated by Sayajirao Gaekwad, the ruler of the state Baroda in 1895 during the British colonial era in India.The legend describes that a cow herder, Petha Patel found one of his cows regularly releasing her milk over one location under a Pimpal tree. He looked there and found the Jaladhari water source. The cows offering of her milk at this site led the people of Saldi to attribute this phenomenon to the presence of Lord Shiva.
