Religious Significance
It is said that the Shivlinga covered by the silver metal was founded by Lord Shiva himself during Dwapara era, when Lord Krishna was born in Mathura. For child Krishna's darshan, Lord Shiva arrived from Mount Kailash and rested here which was a Shamshaan (cremation ground) that time. Lord Shiva meditated and stayed here overnight and wished that if he would be able to make Lord Krishna play on his lap, he would establish a linga here. Next day, after seeing Lord Shiva's swaroop, mother Yashoda asked Lord Shiva not to come near the child as Krishna might get scared of him. Seeing this, Lord Krishna did a leela (drama). He started crying while pointing towards Lord Shiva who was sitting under a banyan tree in samadhi position. Mother Yashoda called Lord Shiva and asked him to give his blessings to her child (Krishna). While returning from Gokul, Lord Shiva laid his linga (swaroop) here.
History
The temple was built 500 year ago. In the year 2004, statue of Lord Krishna's Idol is installed in the temple under the guiding principles of Sri Nanaji and Sri Dwarikadeesh Nath of Mathura.
