Amareshwar Mahadev is a Shiva temple tucked into a forested valley near Ranthambore. A stream and small waterfalls flow in and after the monsoon, and the setting is quiet and green.
The shrine holds a shivling that draws devotees through the year, and the walk up to the cave temple is part of the visit. Many visitors combine it with a drive through the surrounding hills, so we can include it in a local sightseeing day with a taxi and a driver who knows the roads.
