Gujarat's Submerging Shiva Temple Reappears With Tides

The Stambheshwar Temple in Gujarat is a special place that goes underwater and then comes back up!

This happens because of the tides, the rising and falling of the ocean water.

Long ago, someone important named Lord Kartikeya put a special stone representing the god Shiva here.

People believe this is a very holy place, according to an old story book called the Skanda Purana.

This temple is one of three special places where Shiva stones were placed.

It's a meaningful place for people who believe in Shiva.
