LORD MAYURESWAR OF MORGAON

THIRTHAS

There are several thirthas in and around the temple and their origins are associated with divinities. Among them Karna Ganga is important and it takes its birth in the hills near Garuda. It is called Turiya thirtha and absolves one of his sins if bathed. It is said that this thirtha gave salvation to Brahma. And next in rank is the Amkush Tirtha, created by Lord Mayureswar for gods to take bath and was caused by striking his amkush at this spot. There are some more thirthas like Kapil thirtha, Vyasa thirtha, Bhima thirtha, Rishi thirtha, Pakrit Purusha thirtha, Siddhi Buddhi thirtha, Lasha Mushaka thirtha, Ganesh thirtha etc. Each has a mystic origin and is invested with special powers, and according to belief they are curing diseases and relieving the bathers from sins and diseases.
