FAQs

Tīrtha-māhātmya is preserved through sacred narration; knowing the deity’s presence in a place deepens reverence and observance.

Hāṭakeśvara-kṣetra, where Janārdana is said to lie (chete) in holy repose.

No direct ritual is stated here; it identifies the tīrtha and anchors the śayana-related observances to that site.
