Kaurava in the Kurukshetra war, felt guilty of having killed their own brothers
and sought the blessings of Lord Shiva for redemption. He eluded them repeatedly
and while fleeing took refuge at Kedarnath in the form of a bull. On being
followed he dived into the ground, leaving his hump on the surface. The
remaining portions of Lord Shiva appeared at four other places and are
worshipped there as his manifestations. The arms appeared at Tunganatha, the
