This is the recognition of the temple
It is believed that everyone’s wishes are fulfilled by worshiping in the temple. Saravandih Gram Panchayat is located some distance from Mahahar Dham. It is said that this village is situated in the name of Shravan Kumar. Maharaja Dasaratha of Ayodhya reached the forest near Mahahar Dham in order to play hunting. At the same time, Shravan Kumar was passing through the same forest to make his blind parents sit in Kavad and make pilgrimage.
When the blind parents were thirsty, they sat in one place in the forest and went in search of water. He was taking water from the pond, when he felt the word piercing arrow of Maharaja Dasharatha. There is a belief about Pokhara located in the Mahahar Dham campus that this is the same Pokhara, where Shravan Kumar went to get water. After Shravan Kumar got the arrow, his parents cursed Maharaja Dasharatha.
King Dasaratha established to avoid curse
To avoid this curse, King Dasharatha established the Shiva family in Mahahar Dham. During this establishment, when a well was being excavated here, 13 Mukhi Shivling was found here. Which is still seated today. On this 13 Mukhi Shivling, devotees perform Jalabhishek and milk anointing in the month of Sawan.
