According to mythology, during the
wedding of Lakshmi and Narayana in Satya yuga, Indra insulted Muni
Subrata. The saint got so enraged by humiliation, that his body got bent
at eight places. Hence he was called Ashtavakra muni.
Later Ashtavakra muni went to Varanasi
to do Tapas but he was directed by a divine lord to go to a distant
place in Gaur (Bengal). So he came in search of a suitable location and
found this place convenient and started his penance here for several
years. Pleased by his devotion, Lord Shiva blessed him. Shiva also
requested Vishwakarma to build a temple for him. There is also an idol
of Ashtavakra muni in the temple. It is customary to have darshan of
Ashtavakra muni first and then Lord Shiva.Bakreshwar is also considered as one of the Shakti peetas, as Sati
