Gangeshwar Temple

Fudam, Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu · Lord Shiva · Shiva Temple

Diu district lists seaside Shivlingas in rock at Fudam, with Pandava exile tradition on the official tourism page.

Gangeshwar Temple in Fudam village, about three kilometres from Diu town, is listed on the Diu district tourism site as a seaside cave shrine where stone Shivlingas stand among coastal rocks and receive the wash of gentle waves.

History

The district page records local belief that the five Pandavas worshipped Lord Shiva here during their exile, framing the site as both a natural rock temple and a pilgrimage stop on Diu’s coast.

Diu administration publishes access via Diu Airport at Nagoa, Veraval and Delwada railheads, and Gujarat–Maharashtra road links — placing Gangeshwar among the UT’s named historic tourist places.
