About 20 miles [30 km] west of Aurangabad, there is a village called Verul. In this valley, there is a place of pilgrimage called Shivalay, where the great Holy Triangle of Ghrishneshwar is found. The stories associated with Verul, Shivalay, and Grishneswar are as follows: This was originally the settlement of the Naga drive.
The Naga area is Bambi, the when known as "varul" in Marathi "Varul" gradually changed to "Verul" and is known only by this name the Yelaganga River flowing here. The name "Verul" is derived from Yelaganga, where the village is located on its banks, There was a king named "Yela" here.
The capital of his empire was the lapar, or Yelur or Verul. On one occasion, the king went hunting. While hunting, the king killed animals that lived with the Rishi and the munis as well. Seeing this, the angry Saints cursed the king. as a result, his entire body was infested with insects.
Now, struck by this curse, the king began to wander in the forest. Her throat was dry because she was so dry. There was, alas, no water could be found there. Eventually, he found a hole made in the hooves of a horse. When the king began to drink the water, a miracle occurred. The king's corpse was removed from all the insects. The king has done a great deal of remorse there.
King Brahma rejoiced and appeared before him and placed Parasnta Teerth there. He also built a large and sacred dam nearby. This Brahma Sarovar later became known as Shivalay. There is a story about Shivalay too: Shiva and Parvati were playing chess on Mount Kailasa.
Parvati tested Shiva. Sankara became angry about this and moved south. He went to live in the Sahyadri range, where there is a color freeze. The place was named after Mahheshamauli Bhainsmal. Parvati came looking for Shankar.
She won the heart of Shiva in the form of a girl from the Bhilmountain tribe. They both spend some time together happily. The forest eventually became known as kamyakavana. King Mahesha pleads with the ravens from the mahesmouli or Bhainsmal area. One day. Parvati was very tty. Shankara struck the earth with his trident and found, the water of the Bhagavati from Patal (land of the Netherlands). This is Shivalay.
Shivalay extends a little further where Shivanadi (Shivananadi) meets a lot more, Yelaganga just as Shiva and looking for a deer Miracle Parvati were busy in their love affair, ah glad you and the name Sadhanva became a woman.
This time he did a tough Tapa there. Shankara was excited and appeared. In fact, Sudhanwa was a woman in her previous life. Therefore, Shankara from the very curse of being a woman turned Susanwa into the Yelaganga river, and therefore, Punya Santa Yelaganga was born in Kamvawana.
Later, it would be a bath called Dhara Teerth or 'Sita's Snangriha "(toilet) and flow from a high point past the village of Verul.
He kept them in the palm of his left hand and mixed Shivalay water into it. With the thumb of food, he began to combine them both. Then a miracle happened. Vermillion has become ShivaLinga and a great light has come out of it. Parvati was surprised by this.
Then said, King Shankara. "This Temptation was hidden in Pretoria." And he took us away with this Trident Then a bubble appeared on the ground - with water (Kashi Khand) "Parvati kept that radiant light on the stone Linga and put it there. This Puma (perfect) Jyotirlinga is called Kunkumeshwar.
However, as Dakshayani created this experiment with his thumb, he named it Grishneshwara. (Ghrishna means conflict). This 240 ft X 185 ft temple is still as strong and beautiful as ever. In the center of the temple, the Dashavataras are carved in red. These are great to watch.
There is also the display of some beautiful statuette sculptures. A donor named Jayaram Bhatia, who discovered a copper tower with gold sheets and paintings, was made. The courtroom is made up of 24 pillars. There are fine carvings on these pillars. The scenes and drawings are beautiful. Garbhagriha measures 17 ft x 17 ft. Lingamurty faces east.
There is a beautiful Nandikeshwara in the courtroom. While Pradosh here. Shiva's words. The temple is governed by a government-appointed committee. At noon twelve drums are played and arati is performed. to install Garbhagriha should undress and go.
On Monday, nd Shivaratri and other festivities see a large meta (Fete) event taking place that remains busy with many visitors. Of the 21 peethas in Ganesha, one is known as Lakshavinayaka. First, people go to the Laksha temple for a year.
