Their names are Shanti Dwar, Kala Dwar, Pratishtha Dwar, and Nivritti Dwar. Talking about astrology and tantra, these four gates have their own importance. The specialty of this place is that it is the only place in the whole world, where Shiva and Adishakti are sitting together.

Apart from the four gates, the Jyotirlinga of Lord Shiva also makes this place special, which is present in the sanctum sanctorum of the temple in the northeast. As such, many beliefs and stories are associated with this place. 

According to one of these stories, Lord Shiva appeared in the dream of one of his devotees. During the darshan, Lord Shiva said that you will get two Shivling after taking bath in the Ganges. According to Lord Shiva, the devotee got two Shivlings. 

Now Shiva had also ordered the devotee to install the two Shivling by connecting them. Now the devotee also obeyed the orders of Shiva and kept them connected in the same way.

Shiva had told the devotee that if he establishes both the Shivling by joining them together, then the divine Shivling of Shiva and Shakti will be established. It is believed that since then Lord Shiva is sitting here with Mother Parvati.

At the same time, if other beliefs are to be believed, then Maa Bhagwati herself had established Mahadev here. In the temple of Baba Vishwanath, apart from Mangala aarti in the early morning, there is aarti four times throughout the day. It is believed that the virtue of water offered on Monday is more. Especially on the Monday of Sawan, performing Jalabhishek here has its own significance.

According to historians, the construction of this famous temple was done by King Vikramaditya himself in the 11th century with his own hands. At the same time, in 1194 AD, this grand temple was demolished by Muhammad Ghori. 

On the other hand, this temple was rebuilt once again as soon as Iltutmish ascended the throne, but once again in 1447 AD, Sultan Mahmud Ghori of Jaunpur gathered the courage to break this temple.

But due to the faith and unwavering faith of the people, during the reign of the Mughal ruler Akbar, there is a mention of this ancient temple being rebuilt during the reign of Raja Man Singh. After this, again in 1585, during the reign of Akbar, Raja Todarmal got the temple renovated with the help of Pandit Narayan Bhatt.
