This Siva temple is located in the village of Bass at Hisar district in Haryana.
Legend says, there was a king who
was returning with his huge army after a war. All the soldiers
were extremely tired and would perish if they did not get some
water. They searched desperately for some water but could find
none.
They came across a huge black Siva lingam. A wet bull
came and sat beside the lingam. They prayed to the Lord and tied a pot
to the bull. It came back with the pot full of water. They
realised there was a source of water nearby and followed the wet tracks
to find the lake.
An old man who was the guardian of the lake said he would permit them to drink the
water, if they raised a temple for Lord Shiva at the place. The
king agreed and his army was refreshed. Thankful, they built a
Shiva temple as promised to the old man with boundary wall and steps for the tank.
This Mandh lake is considered one
among the 68 thirthams.
