When the Pandavas were in search of Lord Shiva after the battle of Kurukshetra during the Mahabharata era, they saw sage balkhily at Bhrigu Parvat.

The sage told them to visit the confluence and meet the old man who was meditating there.

When the Pandavas reached there the old man vanished and a Shivling appeared.
