Grishneshwar Jyotirlinga Temple

Sri Grishneshwar Jyotirlinga is the twelveth Jyothirlinga among twelve ‘Jyothir Lingas‘. There was a couple by name ‘Sudharma and Sudehi’ in Devagiri. They had no children. One day a guest came to their house.He rejected their ‘bhiksha’ because they had no children. Sudehi was very much worried and she convinced her husband to marry her sister Gushma to beget children. The marriage was performed.Later on, Gushma had a male child. In course of time, Sudehi felt jealous of her sister. She cut her sister’s son into pieces and threw into a pond. Gushma went to the pond to bring water.While she was dipping her pot, her dead son came and twisted round her legs calling her ‘Mother! Mother!’ She was astounded. Lord Shiva stood before her telling about the cruel deed of her sister and He wanted to punish her sister severely. Gushma requested the Lord to pardon her sister.Pleaded with her forbearance and forgiveness, Lord Shiva became ‘Grushneswar’ in the site as Jyothirlinga.
