According
to the epic, Mahabharata, the Kauravas had once conspired to burn
the Pandavas alive here in a palace made up totally of shellac,
known as lakshagriha (palace of shellac). The Pandavas, however,
escaped unscathed with the help of Lord Krishna. There is a
historic cave here and an eighth century temple with a number of
carved stone figures and two big Shivlingas, (symbolic phallus of
Shiva, the Destroyer of the Universe in Hindu Mythology) all of
which are of considerable archaeological importance. |
