Lord Shiva was in Mandarachal and he sent several batches of Shiv Gans to Kashi to create disturbance in the city and distract King Divodas. (For details, refer to Kukkuteshwar).In one of the batches, one Shiv Gan named Bhara Bhoot installed a Shiv Ling called Bhara Bhooteshwar.
Devotees who worship this Ling in Kashi will attain Mukti. Kashi Khand, Chapter 55 further states that those who do not worship this deity will remain a burden in this earth just as a huge tree which does not yield any fruits.
