Introduction

The tilted Shiva temple lying partially submerged in the river is the thing that strikes you first up. It slid into the river as a result of the sheer weight of its construction around 150 years ago. One of the most picturesque ghats, the area around houses some of the most venerated shrines hidden in the tight maze of lanes known as Kshetra or the 'Field of Fulfillment'. Vireshvara, the Lord of all Heroes, is especially propitiated by those desiring a son. In Hindu mythology the Lord of Fire - Agni, was supposed to have been born here.
