It
is an ancient shrine that established a great name and received
veneration from the incarnated celestials and their associates. The
tank on which it is built is equally famous and goes by the name of
Sthaneswar tank.
The
temple is situated in front of Sthaneswar Siva Tank. According to
tradition, it is here that the Pandavas worshipped Maheswar before
going to war and got victory with His blessings. Its waters are said
to have magical powers of curing leprosy. Hence the thronging of the
victims of that dreadful disease in large numbers throughout the
year. More so, it is one of the oldest mandirs bearing the vestiges
of ancient sculptural marvels. Due to its association with Pandavas
and their victory after adoration it enkindles veneration for
visitation.
It
lies in the town of Kurukshetra commanding rail and bus facilities.
