Story of Kalkaleshwar Mahadev form of Shiva in Ujjain
Once, Lord Shiva made fun of the skin tone of Goddess
Parvati. He told her that she was kali, or had dark complexion. This led to a big
fight between the divine couple. The entire universe shook and there was chaos
all around. All living beings prayed for peace.
Then a Shivling appeared on earth and it brought peace in
the universe.
As the Shivling brought peace in the universe, the Devas
called it Kalkaleshwar Mahadev.
It is believed that those offering prayers to the Shivling
will have constant peace in their life.
