Discover the sacred story of Sri Chandradityeswara, the 72nd of the 84 Mahakalavana Shiva Lingas of Ujjain, explained by Jagadguru Sri Ramanananda Maharshi, Siddhaguru.
Empowered by boons from Lord Brahma, the demon Shambarasura defeated the Devas and spread fear and destruction. Distressed by their defeat, Surya Deva and Chandra Deva sought refuge in Lord Mahavishnu.
Vishnu directed them to Mahakalavana to worship a powerful Shivalinga north of Mahakala, assuring them of protection and victory. Surya and Chandra followed his guidance, offering sacred flowers and hymns with devotion.
Through Lord Shiva's divine power, Shambarasura was destroyed and the Devas regained their rightful positions. As Surya and Chandra had sought refuge in this sacred Linga, it became renowned as Sri Chandradityeswara.
