History
The king of Ayodhya found a girl in the forest, married her and brought her to the kingdom. Due to infatuation, the king's attention was diverted from the administration. The king's minister built a beautiful garden for King. Once the queen went to take a bath in a pond built there and did not come back. Durdur (frogs) were more in that pond. The king ordered the destruction of all the frogs. Meanwhile, the king of frogs came out and said that my name is Ayu and the girl whom he married is his daughter. Nagchud.the king of Nag Lok has taken his daughter. Nagchud handed over his queen to the king. Nagchud said that he had ridiculed the sage Galav, due to which he cursed him to be a durdur. He said that when you donate your daughter to the king of Ikshvaku clan and have darshan of Shivling situated in the north of Mahakal forest, you will get salvation. After doing this, he attained heaven. Due to liberation from Durdur, Shivling became famous as Durdureshwar Mahadev. It is believed that whoever sees Durdureshwar Mahadev, his sins will be destroyed. This temple is in Jaithal village on Agar road.
