The tall Shiva statue at the Nageshwar Jyotirlinga is located near Dwaraka in Gujarat. The 25 meter (82 feet) tall statue of Lord Shiva in a sitting position is one of the major attractions of Nageshwar Jyotirlinga Temple. Nageshwar Jyotiriinga is one of the 12 swayambhu (self-manifest] shrines of Mahadev and also believed to be the first Jyotirlinga on the earth. The sitting Lord Shiva and a large garden with a pond are major attractions of this rather serene place. Some archaeological excavations claim five earlier cities at the site.
