Nava Kailash (108 Shiv Mandirs)

---

Nava Kailash refers to the 108 Shiva temples in Kalna, West Bengal, India. Built in 1809, the temples are constructed in two circles. One consists of 74 temples while the other circle has 34. The former has white marble and black stone shivlingas, while the latter has only white marble ones. Due to its ingenious planning, all the shivlingas can be seen from the centre of the temple complex.
