Thousands of years later the Shivling was discovered by a
farmer named Lodheswar. He started worshipping it and the temple came to be
known as Lodheshwar
Mahadeo Temple .
Another legend has it that the Shivling was established by
Luv, son of Sri Ram, found it in the Treta Yuga. He found it while bathing in
the Sarayu. The Shivling was later lost during floods and Yudhishitra
discovered it in the Dwapara Yuga while bathing in the Ghaghra River .
The present temple structure was built around 700 years ago
and is in Mehrab architectural style with lot of floral drawings.
Bhairo Baba, Shiva, Parvati, Rameshwar Mahadeo, Chitragupt,
Hanuman, Kali, Durga, Shiva Parivar, Surya and Shani are also worshipped in the
temple complex.
The temple attracts thousands of devotees during
Shivratri, Shravan month and Somvati Amavasya. The Shivling worshipped here is
wish fulfilling one and therefore it is also known as Kamad Shivling.
