After that, a dispute came over in two villages about the ownership of the temple. Each villager claimed that the temple belonged to their village premises. This dispute goes on for several days and escalates into mayhem. But no solution came out. Finally, villagers came to the decision that Lord Shiva himself would decide which village was the owner of His temple. So, they locked the temple’s gate and went back to their home.
