On the request by Goddess Parvati, Lord Shiva narrated the various deities/ Shiv Lings/Teerths (Sacred Ponds) spread over the expanse of Kashi. (Kashi Khand, Chapter 97).

Towards the south of Krishneshwar is a Shiv Ling known as Yagya Valkeshwar. Devotees who worship Yagya Valkeshwar will be blessed with increase in Brahma Tejas (radiating energy for students).

This Ling is supposed to have been installed by Sage Yagya Valkya.
