FAQs

Sacred geography is born from divine acts: installing a liṅga at a pure spring transforms the landscape into a locus of merit for devotees.

A holy spring (nirjhara) on Arbuda-parvata where the liṅga is installed—later identified with Kṛṣṇatīrtha/Kṛṣṇahrada traditions.

Liṅga-sthāpana (installation) at a sanctified water-source; the verse implies tīrtha-creation through consecration.
