History 

According to the Shiva Purana, Nageshwar is thought to reside in India's old "Darukavana" forest. Legend has it that Daruka Vana was named after a demon couple named Daruka and Daruki, who lived hundreds of years ago. 
 
The demon Daruka, a follower of Goddess Parvati, imprisoned Supriya, a devotee of Shiva. She urged them to recite the Om Namaha Shivay mantra. Lord Shiva appeared in a Jyotirlinga, Nageshwara form, and promised protection.
 
Legend suggests Nageshwar Jyotirlinga is connected to the Pandava brothers, who discovered a river filled with cream and milk and built the Nageshwar Temple on it.
