| In the
shattered economy of the district the money that the pilgrims spent in the temple at
Singheshwarsthan and in the district was a great boon. It is to be noted that the flow of
pilgrims to Singheshwar- sthan had never stopped and on Shivaratri day thousands of
visitors have always been visiting the temple. The temple of Mahadeo, at Singheshwar
village in Madhipura subdivision in Saharsa district is commonly accepted as very ancient.
According to the Legend prevalent in the area, Sringa Rishi who had performed the
Putreshti Yajna for king Dasaratha installed the Shiva linga. The legend has induced a
number of barren women to pay a daily visit to the temple.
The present temple, over the ancient lingam was constructed about two hundred years
back by a merchant of Bhagalpur by the name of Hari Charan Choudhury. |
