'''Shri Kaleshwar Mandir''', '''Shree Kaleshwara Mandira''' (according to {{section link|Marathi phonology|Vowels}}) or '''Shree Kaleshwara Devasthana''' (According to natives of [[Nerur (Maharashtra)|Nerur]] village ) is a large [[Hindu temple]] in [[Nerur (Maharashtra)|Nerur]], [[Sindhudurg district]] in [[Maharashtra]], [[India]].<br />
<br />
It is dedicated to the village deity, Shree Kaleshwara, who is also called Kaloba. The temple dates back 700 to 800 years, when, according to legend, a [[brahmin]] dug into the ground and discovered a natural ''[[lingam]]'', an emblem of [[Shiva]]. The temple was founded on that spot, and the ''lingam'' is now enshrined in the temple's [[sanctum sanctorum]].<ref name="newconsys">{{cite web |url=http://www.newconsys.com/kaleshwar/index.html |title=Kaleshwar Temple |publisher=Newconsys.com |accessdate=2012-08-30 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120714005234/http://www.newconsys.com/kaleshwar/index.html |archivedate=2012-07-14 }}</ref><br />
