Nishkalank’ has many meanings - they are clean, pure, guiltless, to cleanse, to purify, etc.  The temple has 5 distinct swayumbu Shiva lingams inside. Each lingam has a Nandhi facing it. The lingams are spread across a square platform. There is a pond called Pandavas pond, where devotees first wash their hands and legs and only then they visit the shrines.One can visit this temple only two times in 24 hours.This is definitely one of the best spiritual destinations .
