Kubera got angry and made him fall into the human world. The same Gana went to you in great lamentation and asked him to worship a special Linga in the auspicious Mahakalvan. After reaching there, he saw the Linga served by Dev-Gandharva. Prachi Saraswati was present there in the shape of Vapi.

Pleased with this puja, Mahadev wished for the well-being of Nupur. He became full of Tejrashi for the Gana deities also. The Gods said that Nupur achieved success just by seeing the Linga, hence this Linga will be popularly known as Nupureshwar.
