7. Ghushma, unaware of this, prayed to Shiva, who appeared, returning her, her son and further telling Ghushma about the sins of her sister.

In the end, Sudhama requested Shiva to settle here forever, to which the Lord agreed, situated himself there in the form of Jyotirlinga, naming it after Ghushma. And that’s how Grishneshwar Jyotirlinga came into being.
