Shivaganga, Deoghar

HistoryEdit

According to Ancient Scriptures, when Ravana was taking the Shivalingam to his country Lanka, he felt the urge for urination. He handed over the lingam to a brahmin and went for urination. After urination, he needed to wash his hands and be purified before holding the lingam. When he did not find any water source nearby, he made a blow with his fist on the earth and water came out and formed a pond. This pond is now known as Shivaganga. It has been revamped by the Landlord of Lakshmipur and a temple was built by Raja Jai Singh.
