Significance of Mahesh Navami
Mahesh Navami is a significant festival observed during the ninth day or the Navami of the jyeshtha month. A prominent legend linked with this festival is that once there was a king called Khandelsen who was childless. He performed severe penance to please the mighty Lord Shiva. The supreme deity got impressed by his dedication and blessed him with a son who came to be known as SujanSen.
There is another legend linked with Mahesh Navami. Once there was a group of hunters who entered the ashram and disrupted the peace. Lord Shiva got angry and cursed those hunters to turn into stones. The hunter's wives observed penance and pleaded to Shiva to remove the curse. Lord Shiva kept a condition that he would remove the curse only when the hunters would opt for other businesses leaving hunting. The hunters then turned into a businessman. The community of those hunters is the Maheshwari community, and mighty Shiva is their ancestor.
