  • Old legend says that a decent queen staying in the fort nearby was an ardent devotee of Lord Rajeshwara. She use to come to the temple in midnight to worship as part of some vrata. Once she saw her husband - the king following her with a sword. she went to the temple and offered her worship. She prayed the God to take her inside the Shivlinga as there was no meaning in living further as her husband has suspected her. So the shiva linga opened and accomodated the queen in it. only her hair and a part of the clothing ......proof of the legend. Shivdarshan
