On the third Monday of the month of Chaitra, Jaleshwar Shiva rises from the water

God lives under the water, so he is Jaleswara. He comes to the temple from the water only once a year. The fans wait for that arrival for years. Jaleshwar Shiva of Gaighata in North 24 Parganas is under water throughout the year. He came to land only once from the water. Third Monday of Chaitra month every year.

This area of Bhola Maheshwar under water is called Jaleshwar. During the reign of the Sen dynasty, Shiva Puja came into vogue in the late twelfth century. Then the deity was worshiped in the mud temple of tin canopies. Rameshchandra Bandyopadhyay, the zamindar of Gobardanga, donated 60 bighas of land for the Shiva temple.

Adjacent to the nearly 850-year-old Jaleshwar Shiva temple is a pond spread over four acres of 40-century land. The local name of this reservoir is 'Shiva Pond'. In this pond, idols are kept under the water. Those who become monks in Chard bring the idol from the Shiva pond every year on the third Monday of the month of Chaitra. The next day, the monks took the idol and went to Halishahar on foot and bathed the idol in the Ganga. After returning, the deity was worshiped in the houses of devotees of eight local villages. 1 Baishakh Vigraha is again immersed in the Shiva pond.

Apart from the main Shiva temple, there are Shiva Pratiksha temples and Kali temples. The fair is held three times a year. Jalesvara is a very awakened deity meaning people. Hence devotees from far and wide come to Jalaswar in Gaighata for four months. Sitting riding fair. This time is the most crowded.
