VISWANADHAR TEMPLE


Distance: 

Shiva: Viswanadhar

Speciality:

Devotees used to go to Kasi in early days. A devotee who had visited Kaasi built this temple in his village for people who could not go to Kasi so that they could get the benefits here by worshipping Kasi Viswanadhar. This temple was built before 1500 years. A few years back a boy of this village had a dream that something was  present in a bush. His parents ignored his dream. This incident appeared repeatedly in his dream and he insisted his parents to find the truth. They along with the villagers took steps to clear the bush and found something popping out. They dug the place and found a Shiva Linga there. They constructed a small tent and started worshipping Shiva named Kasi Viswanadhar here. Now a temple has been built with the Koshta deities and poojas are performed here.
