The legend has that Tripurasura originated
from the explosive expulsion of air from the nose of Sage Grustmad was brought
up by him. Tripurasura attained profound knowledge and wisdom about
Lord Ganesh in the early ages of childhood from Sage Grustmad. He
underwent severe austerities and prayed to Lord Ganesha, eventually Lord
Ganesha was pleased at the devotion of Tripurasura and granted several boons
includes his death would be possible in the hands of Lord Shiva that would
provide him salvation. After obtaining immense power Tripurasura started
harassing the entire world and became the ruler of Netherlands, he defeated
Lord Indra and obtained heaven; he acquired the three worlds and created havoc.
All the deities approached Maharishi Narada, at the instruction of
the Sage all the deities worshipped Lord Ganesha and appealed to Lord Shiva. Lord
Shiva had a fierce battle with the demon Tripurasura, but it was turned out
unfruitful because of the absence of initial worship of Lord Ganesha.
Lord Shiva realized the fault and worshipped Lord Ganesha and eventually
vanquished the demon with his single arrow. It is believed that this is
the sacred land on Earth where Lord Shiva conducted worship of Lord Ganesha and
beheaded the demon Tripurasura.

Jai Ganesha !!
Jai Sriman Narayana !!
