Why Shiva Appeared After a Demon Attacked His Lingam

What would happen if someone raised a sword against a Shiva Lingam?

According to the traditional story of Bhimashankar Jyotirlinga, the answer was beyond anything the demon Bhima could have imagined. A powerful ruler, filled with anger and pride, believed that his strength could silence everyone who stood against him. But inside a prison, he encountered someone who refused to abandon his faith.
