11 Lamps Lit On Ravana’s Head Maheswar

Furious Ravana picked up a fight with Karthaviryarjuna.

Ravana was defeated.

The mighty Sahasrarjuna with the 1000 arms pinned Ravana to the ground. Then he placed 10 lamps on his heads and one on his hand. After tying up Ravana, Sahasrarjuna dragged him home and tied him up to the cradle pole of his son. A humiliated Ravana stayed prisoner until his release was secured.

Even today, the Sahasrarjun temple at Maheshwar lights 11 lamps in memory of the event.

Where Rama Quenched Hanuman’s Thirst Hanuman Dhara

After Hanuman had set fire to the entire Kingdom of Lanka with his tail, his whole body was consumed in flames and he was burning in pain and was very thirsty.

Lord Ram pierced a Rock with an arrow in a mountain to create a spring .

Since, then the spring is known as Hanuman Dhara.

A narrow stream of water emerges from the rock crevice and falls directly on the idol.

Apart from that, there is a nearby well that never dries up, which is also considered sacred.
