One of the oldest temples of Shiva as Vaidyanath.
There are 2 Nandi present in front of Shiva..one is in usual sitting posture..other is in standing posture.Very unique..to this temple.
Legend #story of this temple related to Ravana
#storytimethread -Asura King Ravana was a devotee of Shiva, did penance in Kailash & even sacrificed his ten heads one by one in to attain immortality.
Shiva was impressed & not only restored his beheaded heads and healed his injuries but also granted him with invincible powers.
Ravana requested Shiva to come with him to Lanka. Shiva gave him a Atma linga and told him not to place the shiv ling in ground until he reach Lanka. By the time Ravana reached Baijnath,he felt uneasy,On seeing a shepherd, Ravana handed over Shivling to him.Shepherd was ganesha.
Ganesha intentionally kept the linga on the ground & thus the Shivling got established here in Baijnath.
