equal to Lord Shiva.Angry Shiva simply
plucked the centre head of Brahmma.The
head stuck to his hand and did not fall down.Lord Shiva, to wash off the Brahmmahathi sin wandered places with the
head of Brahmma.Finally, the head fell
at a place.Lord Vishnu was present
there.This is that place where Lord
