Architecture and History of Madhinath Mandir
According to a legend, a sage was digging a well to help travellers, when suddenly a Shivling appeared from the earth with a \"manidhaari\" (gem bearing) serpent wrapped around it. The presence of the serpent protecting the Shivling led to the name of the temple being \"Madhinath\".
The temple is believed to be several centuries old—some sources date it to about 800 years, while other traditions date it to the ancient Pandava period (about 5,000 years). According to a unique belief, when the Shivling appeared, milk was flowing from it. This phenomenon stopped in the 1960s after a pregnant woman touched the Shivling.
