Naimisharanya Forest Story and Legend behind

It is thought that Veda Vyasa split the Vedas into four halves when he arrived in Naimisaranya. It is commonly known that Brahma once lost the Vedas to a demon by the name of Hayagriva. Brahma experienced a loss of vision. After going to pray to Lord Narayana, he received an assurance that the Vedas would be restored. He declared that Parasara Maharshi and Satyavati would have a son who would be the amsam of Narayana himself. He would also restore the Vedas and divide them into four sections, assuming the name Vedavyasa from then on. Thus, in due course, Vedavyasa was born and arrived in Naimisaranyam during his pilgrimage. As the Lord had promised, he brought the Vedas back and divided them into four sections. With great joy, Brahma and the other gods bestowed blessings on Vedavyasa. It is said that Vedavyasa composed the Mahabharata, the Bhagavata, and the eighteen Puranas here. There is still a Vedavyasa temple in a location known as Vyasaghat (cave), which is close to the Gomukhi River. It is believed that Sukar Maharishi lived here and delivered his Vedic lectures. There is a temple dedicated to Sukar Maharshi in one section of this town called Purana Mandir, which serves as corroborated evidence of this even now. There is a bronze statue of Sukar in that temple that resembles a parrot.
