This Sri Parvati Sannadhi is situated in the Sri Nageshwar Temple. It is one of the most famous temples dedicated to Shiva. This temple is also one of the 12 Jyotirlingas. This temple is believed to be the first such shrine. The name Dwarka is believed to have come to existence after a demon couple named Daruka and Daruki. Daruki was a devotee of Parvati and was blessed by her. One day he captured a Shiva devotee called Supriya who was one of the pilgrims on a boat. The demon imprisoned her along with several others at his capital Darukavana. Supriya advised all prisoners to recite the Shiva mantra 'Aum Namaha Shivayay to protect them. When Daruka came to know about this he ran to kill Supriya. Instantly Lord Shiva appeared in the form of a Jyotirlinga from the earth. He could not kill the demon who was blessed by his own wife, Parvati, but he assured Supriya that he would protect him in the form of a linga. The linga here thus came to be revered.
