Once upon a time in Indian mythology, there was a big battle between the snake god, Nag devata, and King Bhagsu. The king had taken water from a special lake called Nagdal Lake, which made the snake god very angry. But in the end, King Bhagsu was defeated and then forgiven by the snake god. The place where this all happened was named Bhagsu Nag.
At the entrance of the Shiva temple in Bhagsu Nag, there is a bell made of white tiles and a marble step that leads inside. Once you’re in the temple, you’ll see a special five-faced Shivling and a small white statue of Nandi, the bull. The temple is surrounded by two pretty pools that are said to have magical healing powers.
So, if you ever visit Bhagsu Nag, make sure to check out the temple and maybe even take a dip in the sacred pools for good luck!
