Architecture
According to the legend Lord Shiva took a bow known as Ajgav and so the place came to be known as Ajgaivinath. Contains an inscription Gupta and some Hindu and Buddhist images. The area has yielded ancient relics like stupas, seals, coins, terracotta and Hindu and Buddha images. Many carvings can still be seen in the Sultanganj hills. A number of small images along with a copper image of Lord Buddha about seven feet high were excavated here.
Religious Significance
The story is that the river Ganga on her way to the ocean interrupted the Jahnu Muni in his meditation by the rush of her currents. The Sage swallowed the river in a gulp. Bhagiratha intervened and the Muni again let her out by making an incision in his thigh. That is why the river Ganga is also called Jahnavi.
History
During the rule of the Mauryas, Guptas and Palas many works of art and architecture were raised at Sultanganj. It is commonly said that Kalapahar failed to demolish Ajgaivinath Temple, but he could destroy the Parvati Temple on the neighbouring hill and built a mosque there. Formerly, this hill must have been bigger and spacious. The high floods and the constant strong currents of the Ganga must have worn away the decaying granite rocks of the hill.
