Shukracharya,
The legend has that Shukracharya genuinely
desired to create impediments while King Mahabhali was offering alms to Lord
Vamana and was well aware that the dwarf/ Brahmin was none other than Lord
Vishnu, he disguised in the form of a bee and settled in the mouth of a vessel contained
water to perform rituals. Lord Vamana realized
the ruse of Shukracharya and pierced the mouth of the vessel with a sacred
grass. Eventually, Shukracharya lost his
eye sight, later he visited many shrines of Lord Shiva to get back his eye
sight. This is the sacred temple of Lord
Shiva where Shukracharya regained his eye sight.
This temple remains open from
