Verdana;color:navy">Vaidyanatham is located at Deogarh in Bihar. The temple

structure has a great amount of woodwork. The main sabha mandapam has several

huge (wide as well as tall) pillars. There are twenty two other temples in

the temple complex. The top of the Siva Lingam is slightly bent.

It is said that once

Ravana, the king of Lanka, prayed to Lord Siva to make his capital of Lanka

invincible. After severe penance, he received the Aathma Lingam from Siva.

Unable to carry the huge Lingam, Lord Siva made the Lingam into two halves

& placed it in a kavadi. As Ravana was carrying this back to his Lanka,

Lord Varuna caused his stomach to be filled with water. Ravana was desperate

to releive himself. Seeing Lord Ganesha in the form of a brahmin boy, he gave

it to him to hold (Lord Siva had said that the Aathama Lingam could not be

placed on the ground, for wherever it was placed, it would take root). Before

Ravana could get back, Lord Ganesha put the Aathmalingam down. The enraged

Ravana tried hard to pluck the Lingam from the ground. One half exists in

Kokarnam. Ravana started severe penance to Lord Siva, plucking & throwing

one head after the other into the homa gundam. Lord Siva revived him by

putting his heads back in place. Because of this role of Siva as a healer, as

a physician, he came to be called Vaidyanathan (Vaidyan - physician).
