There
is a belief current in this region that Lord Maheswar cures as many as 4480
different and distinct diseases preying on humans and in every kind of the
treatment he administers. Goddess Parvathi assists him with oil vessel carefully
carrying along with Amrit Sanjivini and Vilvanthandu. So she is affectionately
called Thawalanayaki. The neem tree lying near; the eastern gopura is said to
murmur and chant eternally through its fluttering leaves, the glory of the
divine healer and the efficacy of treatment. Every disease is cured and, each
patient goes home singing in praise of the Lord. There is another belief that
those possessed by the evil spirits too get cured and released once for all on
offering prayers to this compassionate All - powerful Vaidyanath. Scores of
supreme Siddhas offered Amritabhisheka to the Lord and the nectar that
overflowed formed into a tank. now called Siddhamrita Kund. A bath in it cures
all kinds of skin disease and it is located in the first prakara. Even visitor
normally bathes in it first and then enters the temple. One peculiar feature of
the tank is, it is free from aquatic creatures, like frog, fish and snake. It is
due to saint Sadananda, who observing the menace caused by the water creatures,
drove them out once for all by his yogic power.
