Bhimlat Mahadev Temple is a Hindu temple of Shiva which is located at a distance of about 35 kilometers from Bundi district headquarters in Rajasthan, India. The temple is situated in the Aravalli mountain range near a large waterfall named Bhimlat Waterfall. This is a famous temple as well as a tourist destination in the Hadoti region of Rajasthan and devotees come in large numbers to it from south eastern districts of Rajasthan.[1][2][3]
It is said about this temple that during the Mahabharata period, Pandavas came here during their exile of 12 years. During this time, to arrange drinking water, Bhima hit the ground by his feet and a stream of water gushed out there. This water stream is still flowing even today. For this reason, this place is called Bhimlat.[1][4]
