The wise told Shiva Shankar that ‘O Lord Bholenath is not my child, give me a blessing from a boy. Lord Shiva said you want Chiranjeev boy, you will have a son, but he will be 12 years old. Maharishi Mrkand, with his wife Marudamati, did Bholenath. After some time, Marudamati raised and the sun was born of her womb, the bright boy, whose name was Markandeya. At the beginning of the 11th year of Intelligent Markandeya, his father Muni Mrrikund’s heart was filled with sadness, he began very sad and grieving before God. Markandeya, who saw his father so sad and compassionate, asked him the reason. After listening to his beloved son Markandeya, 11 -year -old, Mrkandu told the reason for sadness and said that the Son God gave you only 12 years old and that he would be fulfilled. Now we are at age and how can we see that only a single child is dying. How did Markandeya kill the life of the sage, Markandeya said after listening to the father of the Father’s Father- you are not sad for me, I will make such an effort that I will become immortal. I will worship Lord Bholenath and get the blessing of Amrita. Markandeya came in the direction of Yamkeshwar where he began singing Mahamityunjaya by creating a sandpenis under the Peepal Tree near the Shatrudra River near Manikut Mountain. By the grace of Lord Mityunjaya, 7 small water dams are formed in its northern direction, which can still be seen today. The day of his death came and the messenger of death, ie Yamraj came to him and tried to kill Markandeya’s life with his powers. Initially, there was a conversation in Markandeya and Yamraj and Yamraj started asking them to go. Meanwhile, Lord Bholenath appeared and he attacked Yama. Due to the war with Yamraj, this place called Yamrar, later known as Yamradi. Yamraj did Bholenath’s fine to Yamraj, Bholenath said you couldn’t come where my death was singing. Eventually, satisfied with Yama’s praise, Bholenath said that my own country of generation was born at the place where you are. Do the worship here.
