Seven Rivers

The story goes that demons,

  1. Mahabal 
  2. Atibal &
  3. Demon army 
created huge disruptions in the world

Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh were prayed to release the world from their wrath. Vishnu killed Atibal,however Mahabal had the boon of 'death at will'. Hence, the gods requested Adimaya to charm Mahabal. Mahabal said to Adimaya that I will die in your hands only if the 3 Gods agree to reside on earth in our names.

Hence,

  1. Brahma in the form of Koteshwar (The demon army) 
  2. Vishnu in the form of Atibaleshwar, 
  3. Shiva in the form of Mahabaleshwar and  resided here.
