SAHYADRI - BHIMSANKAR JYOTIRLINGA

 It is indeed magnificent to look at Him though His form that was roudra in its intensity and strength in totality. It has many other plus points that have been luring Saivates in particular and theists in general since that act of killing Tripura for universal peace. It is here the sweat drops of the Lord were converted into a steam which is flowing since then perennially under the name of Bhimarati; it is at this temple Mother Gowri is worshipped as Kamalaja indicating thereby that she was worshipped with lotuses by Brahma; it is here lies the Mokshakund that liberates seven generations of the forefathers of the person bathed; it ,is here lie several other sacred thirthas created by Dattatreya and Bhashitadevi; it is here lived the famous rishi Jabali; it is here located shrines for Sakini and Dakini, who helped Lord Bhimasankar in his war against Tripura; it is this temple built by two bankers unlike by kings and it is here the Lokabhayankar Tripurasura met his death at the hands of Lord Sankar.
