For 4000 years people have been searching for the head of (Hindu deity) Kedarnath who assumed the shape of a bull to avoid the five Pandava brothers,the heroes of the Mahabharat. The legend goes back to the fabled battle of Kurukshetra fought between the five Pandava brothers and their cousins, the 100 Kaurava brothers, which is the pivot of the Mahabharata. The Pandavas won, but sorrowed by the loss of lives, they renounced the kingdom they had wrested back and headed for the heavenly abode of the gods, believed to be atop the mighty Himalayan Mountains. The Pandavas reached the Kedarnath region to seek forgiveness from Lord Shiva for the loss of lives during the 18-day Mahabharata war. But Lord Shiva was not ready to forgive them and he took the form of a bull to avoid them. The Pandavas soon realized that the bull was Lord Shiva and tried to stop it by pulling its tail. Suddenly the head got separated from the body of the bull and the Pandavas could not locate it. The hump-backed structure at Uttarakhand’s Kedarnath temple is worshipped as the torso of the holy bull.

भक्तपुर राज्यका महाराजधिराज भूपतिन्द्र मल्ल राजाले विक्रम संवत १६२९ मा स्थापित शिला लेखमा निम्न भजनको श्लोक लेखिएको छ । भनिन्छ राजा भूपतिन्द्र मल्लले श्री डोलेश्वर महादेवको दैनिक दर्शन गरी निम्न भजन गर्ने गरेका थिए । यसैबाट राजा भूपतिन्द्र मल्लले सिद्धि प्राप्त गरी वर्तमानमा देखिने ऐतिहासिक भक्तपुर नगरको निर्माण गरेका थिए । ऐतिहासिक नगर भक्तपुरको मुख्य आकर्षण १. पचपन्न झ्यालयुक्त दरवार, २. १०९ चोक युक्त दरबार, ३. पाँचतले (न्यातापोल) मन्दिर र भैरवनाथको मन्दिर युक्त टौमढी टोल आदि हो । यिनले भौतिक निर्माणमात्र गरेका होइनन् नेवारी संस्कृतिलाई जीवन्त राख्ने विस्केट जात्रा जस्तो महत्वपूर्ण जात्रालाई राजकीय मान्यता दिई इतिहास र संस्कृतिलाई जगेर्ना गरेका थिए ।

शिलालेखमा रहेको भजन -
पुरारे समरारे महादेव शम्भो विभो पन्नगाधीशहाराभिराम |

इति श्री बोलेश्वर महादेवस्य स्तोत्र संपूर्णम् ॥
जय भोलेनाथ !
