Pali, Lalitpur district, Uttar Pradesh · 24.4761°, 78.3922°
A Shiva temple at Pali in Lalitpur district built around an unusual three-headed image of the god. It draws a large fair on Maha Shivaratri, when devotees process to the shrine.
What follows is the temple’s own traditional account, transmitted through liturgy and local memory. It is recorded here as tradition, not as attested history.
Local belief holds that the three-headed image emerged from the mountain of its own accord and the temple was raised around it.
