	Lord Vishnu and Lord Brahmma along with the Devas met Lord Shiva in Kailash and said that they were worshipping Him daily and piously demanded His Paranjothi Darshan. Lord said that He was on earth in Vilwa forest formlessly and advised them to worship Him there for the Paranjothi darshan. All came down to earth, discovered the Vilwa Vana, created a tank, installed a Shiva Linga and worshipped Lord. Lord wanted to test their determination and created troubles in the puja through Makali and Veerakali. They continued the puja with a steadfast mind. Finally, Lord Shiva Himself came there in the guise of an aged person and gave troubles to disturb their pujas. Lords Vishnu and Brahmma and the Devas could not be stopped from their rigid worship. Pleased with their determination, Lord Shiva granted His Paranjothi darshan aspired by them on a Monday in the Aavani (August-September). Later, Mothers Parvathi, Lakshmi and Saraswathi and Lord Muruga worshipped Lord for the same darshan.
