Koteshwar Mahadev Temple (Devanagari: कोटेश्वर महादेव) is a Hindu temple dedicated to lord Shiva, and is located approximately 3 kilometres (3,000 m) from the centre of the Rudraprayag district of Uttarakhand, a little above the Alaknanda River.

[1][2] The location is presumed to be the spot where Lord Shiva had stopped for meditation on his way to Kedarnath.

Lord Shiva went into hiding to escape this threat, resting in various places before coming to the cave at Koteshwar Mahadev.

A similar legend is associated with Shrikhand Mahadev and Kinner Kailash in Himachal Pradesh.

This hospital is managed by the Jyotishpeethadheeshwar Jagatguru Shankracharya Swamy Madhavashram Charitable Trust.
