        Sthala Puran

        The original temple was located in Amona at the same place but later reconstructed from time to time through jeernoddhara (continual maintenance).

        Betal, as we know him today, is a deity of the indigenous Hindu people of India. Betal the god of the roaring storm, is usually portrayed in accordance with the element he represents as a fierce, destructive deity. Many stories and folklore about the valor and wisdom of 'Shri Vetala' are passed down through generations of local people who worshiped this deity. Traditionally, Shri Vetala is considered a patron deity of the Harijan people. A god named Rudra is mentioned in the Rig Veda. The name Rudra is still used as a name for Shiva. In RV 2.33, he is described as the "Father of the Rudras", a group of storm gods. Furthermore, the Rudram, one of the most sacred hymns of Hinduism found both in the Rig and the Yajur Vedas and addressed to Rudra, invokes him as Shiva in several instances.

        Shaivism (Sanskrit: शैव पंथ, śaiva paṁtha) is the oldest of the four major sects of Hinduism, the others being Vaishnavism, Shaktism and Smartism. Followers of Shaivism, called "Shaivas", and also "Saivas" or "Saivites", revere Shiva as the Supreme Being. Shaivas believe that Shiva is All and in all, the creator, preserver, destroyer, revealer and concealer of all that is. Shaivism is widespread throughout India, Nepal, and Sri Lanka, mostly. Areas notable for the practice of Shaivism include parts of Southeast Asia, especially Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia.
