Mythology
Murudeshwaradates back to Ramayana and takes a tremendous symbolic mention to God, Lord Shiva and Ravana, the rulers of Hindu mythology. It is thought that Atma-Linga or the soul of Lord Shiva blesses a person with inventiveness and immortality. Ravana prayed ardently to Lord Shiva, with the vain concept of reaching the opportunity for invincibility and immortality, and Lord Shiva gives him the Atma-Linga provided it does not affect the floor.Subsequently, to curb chaos on earth, Lord Ganesha disguised himself as a Brahmin to induce Ravana into keeping the AtmaLinga on the floor. Finally, Lord Ganesha succeeded. The AtmaLinga broke into 5 pieces and scattered on the Earth’s surface. The places where these 5 pieces touched the ground, were developed into shrines, dedicated to Lord Shiva.
