"NISHKALANK" TAMPLE IN THE SEA (about 1 KM inside Arabian Sea) AT THE BAY OF CAMBAY AND GULF OF KHAMBHAT. NEAR BHAVNAGAR CITY. The temple goes like thinks when Pandavas approached Lord Krishna to show the Marg to santify the sins of kurukshetra War He send them on Pilgrimage with Black cow and Black Flag and instructed to conduct penance when/where the black cow/flag becomes WHITE.
Here the cow/flag turned white and Lord Shiva appeared before Pandavas in the linga"Roopam ". The sea water recedes only at this temple point for few hours and return back.
Every day the sea withdraw water to allow piligrims to have darshan of shiva between 1:oo P.M. to 1o:oo P.M.
pilgrims patiently wait for the receding wave and have Darshan return safely before the tide come back "Har Har Mahadev" the belief supported by sundry religions.
