LORD BHIMASHANKAR OF SAHYADRI

THE STORY OF GUPTA BHIMESH

At about a mile away to the shrine, there lies Gupta Bhimesh. Here, the river Bhima jumps from a steep peak into the valley below and falls upon the head of Sivalinga. The passage to this is very difficult due to dense growth of forest and also infested with wild animals. As the Siva could not be visible it is called Guptaganga. Its interesting story is linked with a king of Nepal who due to abuse of powers turned a fakir and during his wanderings he visited this Gupta Bhimesh shrine on the advice of one famous sage Gomil. With the grace of the Gupta Bhimesh he got back his kingdom and ruled happily there afterwards.
