Mythological Significance & History

The temple’s roots trace back to the Treta Yuga, when Lord Shatrughna is said to have worshipped Bhuteshwar before defeating Lavanasura and founding Mathura.

It is believed that without Shiva’s blessings, Mathura’s foundation would not have been possible.

Architecture of the Temple

The inner sanctum spans approximately 100 m², featuring a distinct conduit system that allows devotees to perform abhisheka (ritual pouring) directly from outside.
