In this particular lawn, the son of Saint Chayvan, Medhavi used to sit for meditation. It was also seen that Devraj Indra, the king of Heaven used to relax here along with the nymphs and his fellow deities.

Saint Medhavi was taken aback and mesmerized because of her beauty. Very shortly, both of them decided to love together and hence they spent quite a few years together. One fine day when Manjughosha asked for Medhavi’s permission to go back to her world, he realized his mistake, that he had committed the grave crime of giving up on his ascetic life and austerity. This self realisation triggered his anger and he cursed Manjughosha to turn into a witch.
