Puja,
In
Dwaparayuga there was a demon Vruthasura harassed the life of deities and
Rishis. All the deities approached Lord
Shiva seeking for help. Lord Shiva malformed
the deities and Rishis into honey bees, therefore the demon Vrutharasura’s
search for the deities to cause troubles turned out unsuccessful. Hence, all the deities in the form of bees
worshipped the Linga positioned here and sincerely followed the instructions of
Lord Shiva.
The legend has that Lord Adishesha and Lord Vayu had a
heated argument about their superiority. Lord Indra intervened and proclaimed
them to prove their strength. The final verdict was followed, Lord Adishesha
should carry the Mount Meru with his thousand heads and Lord Vayu should tear
apart the Mount Meru with his strength. Lord Adishesha stiffened the mount with its
thousand hoods; as a result all the deities were perturbed. Therefore, Adishesha loosened his grasp on the
mountain, instantly Lord Vayu with all his strength blew off Mount Meru,
consequently it divided into a few branches and a small part of it fallen on
this sacred land on Earth.
This
temple remains open from 6.00AM to 12.00PM in the morning and 4.30 PM to 8.30
PM in the evenings.
Jaya Jaya Sankara Hara Hara Sankara !!
