Pushkarini / Tirtha / Tree

  1. Chandra Pushkarini – Chandra had lost all his splendour due to the curse of Kashyapa earlier. Then Chandra took bath at the pushkarini and regained greater tejas and splendour in him and as such, it is called as Chandra Pushkarini. It is surrounded by eight Tirthas, eight trees and has the presence of sannidhana of Vishnu. A person who surrounds all the eight Tirthas on a single day, and then takes holy bath, in all of them and then has the darshana of Rangesha would be saving atleast 10 ancestors from all sins. If one does fasting on Ekadashi, and takes holy bath at Chandra Pushkarini, he would be saving 21 of his ancestors. The Pindas offered in these tirthas are superior to that of Gayashradda. The Godaana (daana of Cow) done here will make the pitru devates happy in the heaven.
  2. Bilva Tirtha - This Tirtha is opposite to Chandra Pushkarini Tirtha. Sukracharya had done tapas under the tree for getting rid of the sin committed by him in supporting the daithyaas. Bilva Tree was installed by Sukrcharya there.
  3. Jambu Tirtha - Towards the agneya direction, there is Jambu Tirtha. Shiva is staying there to wash off his sins due to the act of writing Shaivagama.
  4. Ashwatha tree - This tree lies to the southern direction, where Indra did tapas here, in order to clear off the sins committed by him to Ahalya.
  5. Punnaga Vruksha – Towards the west of Chandra Pushkarini, there is one supreme tree called Punnaga Tree. Agnideva had reached Kruttika devataas. Due to that Agni had defects. In order to bring down and getting rid off, those doshas, agni devata did severe penance at this place.
  6. Kadamba Tree - Towards north, there is Kadamba Tree, where once Janaka Maharaja had did yaaga.
