Temple Profile
History and Significance
History
- Founder
- Sage Jayageesh
- The story says Sage Jayageesh undertook severe penance in a cave while awaiting Shiva's return to Kashi after the episode of King Divodas. Shiva blessed the sage, who then installed the linga now revered as Jayageesheshwar.
Significance
- The cave is treated as a place of yoga and siddhi, while the installed linga is said to remove sins. Feeding Shiva devotees in the Jyeshteshwar region is also given special merit in this tradition.
