He got made a pond called Dev kund in which if one bathes, gets merits of bathing in all the tirths (religious places). The Shivling which he made out of Kasauti stone (touch stone) is still here and is called Chaywaneshwar Shivling and the temple was created by Lord Vishwakarma in one night.
It is said that once Lord Vishwakarma was told to build temples in one night. And this very temple was built that night.
