Located in Jabalpur district in central India- Trishul bhed
is a temple of lord shiva situated at bank of river Narmada. Nestled in
exteriors of Jabalpur... it is still pristine and undiscovered. As most of the
travelers are unaware about this temple of lord shiva. Often people move
further to off-side dhuadhar (a water
fall on river Narmada in Jabalpur) and skip this place, but trust me, it is
worth the shot. The silence, the calmness of this place will relax your mind
and soul.
It is best to choose a little cold day, you can enjoy
sitting here and having a home cooked brunch with your dear ones. Don’t forget
to keep a garbage bag id you decide so.
HISTORICAL STORY-
This place has its own story of how it got this name “TRISHUL
BHED”. It is said that we can find this story in shivpurana (a holy book of Hindus)
as well. Tale goes like this: A Monster named Ambikasur prayed and meditated to
Lord Shiva and moved by his prayers lord shiva appeared to him. Ambikasur
taking this opportunity asked lord shiva to grant him immortality i.e. He could
not be killed by and any human or animal , He could not be killed during full
sun or moon ( daylight and moonlight) Lord shiva who is also known as
bholebhandari granted him this wish. As soon as he got this approval he started
torturing everyone by his deeds, became ruthless and troubled everyone. Frustrated
from this ode real all the people including god came to lord shiva and asked
him that is he has granted ambikasur this permission then he only should find a
solution to this destruction.
Lord shiva himself bounded by this grant could not himself
kill Ambikasur. After intense Brainstorming, he asked his trishul (Trident) to
go and kill ambikasur during evening when daylight comes to and moonlight
begins. His trishul asked him to grant permission but lord Shiva told him that
it is not possible because he is human and can’t kill ambikasur. His trishul
then told Shiva that if it kills Ambikasur it will lose all its divine power,
but still it will go and do the needful.
His trident then went ahead and killed Ambikasur, and
henceforth, lost all its power. After all these incidences, Lord Shiva took his
trishul to all the auspicious places to make his trident functional again. It
was then he wandered and came to river Narmada and put his trident into the
water with force and magically his trishul was back to normal. And this is why
this place is called Trishul bhed. By the aftereffects of this action of lord
shiva, river Narmada’s stream was divided into visibly three streams. This can
still be seen when you move towards the bank of river.
