History & significance

A courtyard of eighty-four shrines in the middle of Bharmour town, built by Raja Meru Verman for the eighty-four siddhas who meditated here on their way from Kurukshetra to Manimahesh lake. The Manimahesh pilgrimage is held to be incomplete without a visit to these temples.

Sthala katha — the legend

The siddhas are said to have blessed the heirless Raja Meru Verman with ten sons and a daughter, Champavati.
