Tarkeshwar Mahadev Temple-

Tarkeshwar got the name from an Asur (demon) named Tarkasur who was in immense meditation at this place to please Lord Shiva for availing a boon of immortality which the Lord agreed to but said only his son could kill him and once the boon was granted, he started threatening gods and soon turned evil and to stop this act of his, Lord Karthikeya killed him but at the time of his death, he begged Lord Shiva for pardoning him and that’s how the name got attached to the temple’s name. This temple is located nearly at an altitude of 2000metres.
