History

Once, Sage Narada reached heaven to meet Lord Indra. Lord Indra asked the sage about the importance of Mahakal forest. When all the Devas heard about the speciality of Mahakal forest, they left Lord Indra all alone and stayed in Mahakal forest. As all the Devas had left, Lord Indra also reached Mahakal forest. The sky voice stated that all the Devas shout create a Shivalinga. All the Devas got happy and with the help of Mahamaya, they formed a Shivalinga in the southern direction. Whoever does any wrong deeds will be freed from his sins by worshipping this Linga. The Linga here came to be known as Trivishtpeshwar. Whoever worships this Linga during Sankranti, stays near the Lord always.
