== Etymology ==<br />
The temple name is derived from the Nageshwar form of Lord Shiva. The [[Lingam|Shivalinga]] of the temple is locally known as ''Baba Nageshwar Nath Mahadev''.<ref name=":0" /><br />
<br />
== Description ==<br />
The [[Lingam|Shivalinga]] of the ''Nageshwar Nath Mahadev Mandir'' was emerged from the earth around century ago. It is said that the Shivalinga was seen in a hole by some children playing ''kancha'' under a pipil tree there on 15 October 1968 at 4 pm. The name of the boy who first saw the Shivalinga was ''Shankara''. He was of the age around 12 years at that time.<ref name=":1" /> After that people there took out the Shivalinga and started worshiping it. The Shivlinga of the temple is ancient.<ref name=":0" /> It is said that those days there was election in the country, so due to the popularity of the discussion of the sudden emergence of the Shivalinga, the former prime minister [[Indira Gandhi]] also visited the temple during her elections campaign in the region.<ref name=":1" /> <br />
<br />
The temple was built in ''Nepalese architectural'' design.<ref name=":0" /> The temple was carved in the style of the famous [[Pashupatinath Temple|Pashupatinath Mandir]] in [[Kathmandu]].<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |date=2023-11-03 |title=बेहद खास है यह महादेव मंदिर, संतान प्राप्ति के लिए यहां आते हैं लोग... |url=https://hindi.news18.com/news/dharm/this-mahadev-temple-is-very-special-people-come-here-to-have-children-indira-gandhi-also-visited-during-the-elections-7802398.html |access-date=2024-10-08 |website=News18 हिंदी |language=hi}}</ref> <br />
