Shiva Sprinkles Bhasma Holy Ashes Umananda In Island

Lord Shiva is reported to have strewn the Vibhuthi, Holy Ashes here imparted Wisdom to Parvati and sat in meditation.

Read my Post on Vibuthi, Shaivaite mark and Tiruman, the Vaishavavite mark.

"Siva is said to have resided here in the form of Bhayananda.

According to the Kalika Purana, in the beginning of the creation Siva sprinkled ashes (bhasma) at this place and imparted knowledge to Parvati (his consort).

Pyramid Temple of Adi Brahma Khokhan

Temples for Brahma, the Creator are few.

Mythological reason is that Brahma lied about finding the feet of Lord Shiva in the form of Linga and was cursed to this effect by Ishwara

.

Philosophically speaking, Brahma is not worshiped because He is the Creator, the cause of Birth.

Hinduism attributes the cause of suffering and endless cycle of Life and Death to Birth.
