Mythology
It is believed about this temple that Lord Shiva came here in mythological times and stayed for some time. Later Swami Krishnanand Paramhans came to Jatoli in 1950.
On whose guidance and direction the construction work of Jatoli Shiva temple started in 1008. He laid the foundation of this temple in the year 1974.
However, he took samadhi in the year 1983, but the construction work of the temple did not stop, instead, the temple management committee started looking after its work.
It took about 39 years for the Jatoli Shiva temple to be completely ready. The most important thing about this temple built at a cost of crores of rupees is that it was built with the money donated by devotees from India and abroad. This is the reason why it took more than three decades to build it.
Tallest Shiva Temple
After Swami Krishnananda took Samadhi, the temple management committee continued the construction of the temple. Recently an 11 feet tall golden urn has been offered in the temple. Due to this the height of the temple reached about 122 feet.
