Lord Shiva’s power is everywhere, whether it is India or Pakistan!
We are talking about a very ancient historical place renowned for Lord Shiva’s philosophies. As for the great Hindu Epic, after the death of his wife the god Sati ,Shiva sheds into a rain of tears that led to the formation of two holy Ponds-one at Pushkar-Raj near Ajmer and the other at Katas-Raj near Punjab province in Pakistan.
The word Katas derived from Sanskrit word Ketaksha which means “raining eyes”. In the epic “MAHABHARAT” the significance of Katas Raj is mentioned.
The seven-shrine temple complex is situated around Katas Lake, deemed sacred by multi-faith pilgrims. Katas Raj is one of the most significant Hindu pilgrimage centers in Pakistan, a complex of ancient temples. The region is also known for its Buddhist remains and architecture besides the ancient Hindu temples.
There is another Mythological belief that Pandawas of “MAHABHARAT” spent four out of thirteen years of their exile at this site. And also later Lord Krishna laid the foundation of this Temple with his Hand-made Shivling. As per the old myth first shiva- ling( shivling ) was in Katas.
