Lord Surya installed a Shiv Ling and a devi idol at Panchganga Ghat, praying intensely to Lord Shiva, causing extreme heat. Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati appeared, and Lord Shiva's touch cooled Lord Surya. They granted divine wishes and named him Mayukh Aditya, meaning effulgence. Worshiping Mayukh Aditya on Sundays is said to prevent illness (Kashi Khand, Chapter 49).

The idol of Mayukh Aditya always remains moist and cool. If we physically remove the moisture and make it dry, the idol will again become moist. Old timers in and around the temple believe that the hidden river Dhootpapa is flowing beneath the surface, causing this moistness.

Sun manifests our Soul, Father, Power, Health, Fame, Government, Medicine, Gold, Bones, and Fire as well as government jobs. A person having a powerful Sun in his horoscope is always able to achieve very good Name and Fame in his life.
