Lord Shiva destroyed the demon Triparasura who was cause for troubling the people. After the victory, Lord Shiva took a rest in the forest. At that time, Lord Shiva got heavy sweat from his body. The flow of sweat became a River. This River is called Bhima.
Another important demon had connected to this temple is Bhima. He was the son of the demon Kumbhakarna who was the brother of Ravan. Kumbhakarna has a heavy body, and he is an influential person.
Once Bhima asked his mother about his father Kumbhakarna, his mother said that Lord Rama killed Kumbhakarna. And also, his grandparents were killed by Ahalya, the wife of the great saint.
So, Bhima wanted to take revenge against who was the reason for his family’s death. So he started to meditate deeply on Lord Bramha.
Lord Bramha impressed his prayer and granted his wish to become invisible. After receiving the boon, Bhima started to irritate the Gods.
The Demi-Gods complained to Lord Shiva. Finally, Lord Siva blew fire on Bhima, and his body had destroys by fire.
After the victory, the saints requested Lord Shiva to stay in their place and bless them. Lord Shiva accepted their wish and stayed in Bhimashankar Temple.
