In this village of Kanashol, there is a storm. The temple is more than 350 years old. This three and a half century old Shivreshwar Shiva temple.
Adjacent to the temple is a huge 14 acre pond. Devotees pour water on Shiva's head after taking a dip in this lake. The dam was dug by King Alal Nath Dev. That's why this Dighi is also known as Alal Dighi.
Where this temple stands today, there were forests and banyan trees. There was the Shiv Linga under the ground. Legend has it that a cow used to pour milk on that Shivalinga every day. A shepherd boy saw that scene. That very night, the owner of the cow, Alal Nath Dev, the king of Brahmanbhum, and Shitalananda Mishra, the priest of Ariadha, had a dream.
Shiva linga was dug up in the place where the black cow used to give milk. This Shivalinga was established in 1629 on the Krishna Chaturdashi tithi of Bhadra month. The name was given to Shireshwar Shiva. Devotees believe that if you observe the vow of Shiva in this temple, you will get relief from serious diseases.
