MYTHOLOGY: Sage Mrikandu and his wife Marudmati beg God for a child after years of trying for a child. Their wish is granted at the behest that their son, MARKANDEYA would be born but would live only up to the age of 12 years. As the brilliant Markandeya grows into his adolescence, he comes face to face with lord yamraj who has come to seize his life. In devotion, Markendaya clings to the Shivaling and begs for his life to Rudra God who bestows him the amrita of life and also the supreme jnana of the self. So, this is is a story of deep devotion and the compassion of the Lord.
