Visiting Tapkeshwar Mahadev Temple, Dehradun | Full Darshan and Tour

Tapkeshwar Temple, also known as Tapkeshwar Mahadev Temple, is a temple in Dehradun dedicated to Shiva. The temple is on the bank of the Tons River, built on top of a natural cave, which holds the temple's main shivalinga.
The Tapkeshwar Temple is alleged to be 6,000 years old. It has a natural shivalinga in the cave, which became a place of reverence for the local people.
It is also believed that this was used as a residence by Dronacharya, the teacher of the Pandavas and Kauravas in the Hindu epic Mahabharata; the cave is called Drona Cave after him. Dronacharya's wife Kalyani was unable to breastfeed their newborn son Ashwatthama. As Dronacharya was unable to afford a cow or cow's milk, Ashwatthama prayed to Shiva, who then fed him milk dripping from the shivalinga in the cave.
The temple is popular as both a tourist destination and a pilgrimage site in Dehradun. The temple hold a large festival on Shivratri.
