“SHIVALYA” THE TEMPLE OF SHIVA
SISWAL:-
A village in Adampur Tehsil of Hisar District.
It is famous for an ancient Shiva Temple, in this temple the “Shiva Linga” is natural and it was come out from the earth naturally spontaneously. The height of that “SHIVA LINGA” is 5 feet from the ground surface. The interesting thing in this is that when it (“SHIVA LINGA”) came out from the land then the height was too much to pray for the people, then people decided to make a stair so that they can pour the water on “SHIVA LINGA” easily. Then they started to build the stairs, on the first day two stairs were made and in the evening the construction was stopped and people went to their homes. Next day when people came for doing pending work then they saw that the “SHIVA LINGA” height increased up to the two stairs height, then the people constructed two more stairs then the next day the height of “SHIVA LINGA” increased again. Then people stopped the construction work and started to pray the god. And today also the height of the “SHIVA LINGA” is same as it was come out and existed . This “SHIVA LINGA” was existed a long time ago and it is believed that this “SHIVA LINGA” was made by the “PANDAVAS” during the period of their “AGYATVASA”.
Visit the temple of Shiva and your desire will be fulfilled .
