Pawan Hrad Tirtha, Pabnawa

Category Religious

Pawanhrad literally means the lake related to the wind god. This shrine was named Pawanhrad because of its association with the deity of the wind. The literal meaning of similar symptoms (Pawan + aab) is also a reservoir related to wind. For this reason, it seems that over time, the name of this village has become Pabnawa after being disillusioned with Pawanab.

This pilgrimage is found in Mahabharata, Padma Purana and Vamana Purana. While in the Mahabharata it is said to be related to the deity of the wind, while the Vamana Purana establishes its association with the Mahadev and the deity of the wind, while in the Padma Purana it is related to Maharishi Dadhichi.
