History of Nishkalank Mahadev Temple
According to a belief, after the Kurukshetra War, the Pandavas constructed the temple. The Pandavas started to feel regretful for their actions after murdering the Kauravas.
Hence, the Pandavas pursue the advice of Krishna. They wanted to find compensation for their violations. Krishna gave them a black flag and a black cow. He instructed them to follow the cow. Krishna promised that they would all be forgiven when the flag and the cow turned white. After that, Lord Krishna commanded them to express their regrets to Lord Shiva.
They followed the cow wherever it led them. Pandavas saluted the flag for many years in a variety of locations, but the colours remained the same.
Finally, when they arrived at Koliyak Beach, the flag and the cow, both turned white. The Pandavas then quickly consolidated on Lord Shiva. They expressed their regret for their offences.
In response to their prayers, Lord Shiva appeared to each brother as a lingam. The name Nishkalank Mahadev, which means to be pure, clean and innocent, was therefore given to it as a result.
