Legend speaks of a time when Lord Shiva seeking refuge in the woods took the form of a majestic deer with a single golden horn. roamed these woods in blissful solitude.

When the gods found Him and attempted to seize Him, His horn shattered into three parts, giving birth to the sacred ground we now know as Mrigasthali.
