Actually, Chandra (Moon) is the
main cause behind it. Chandra was married to 27 wives and One of the wives is
Dakha’s daughter. But Chandra loves Rohini who is one among those 27 wives.
Daksha has warned him once to see 27 wives equally, but Chandra couldn’t follow
his words. Then Daksha has cursed Chandra get faded up. At that time what to do
Chandra didn’t understand and later he seek advice from Lord Brahma, that to
pray Lord Shiva for 6 months at the bank of river Saraswati by making linga.
Chandra Prayed and Lord Shiva appeared infront of him and offer to give a boon
to Chandra. Chandra explained his problem to Lord Shiva. But Even Lord Shiva
has no complete power to get Chandra out of the curse. So Lord Shiva said
Chandra to compromise and he declared to him that in Krishnapaksha, Chandra will
wane and in Shukla paksha it gets brighten in lunar fortnight. This should be
satisfy everyone.
Therefore, Shiva has worn Chandra
on his head and let him grow for only 15 days and other 15 days it won’t. The
linga which was made by Chandra and prayer is known as Somanatha Linga and
among all jyothirlinga it is the first one.
