When the Nirgun Shiva, created a world where Vishnu resided. Once, when Vishnu tilled his head, a gemstone fell, and it came to be known as Manikarnika. The entire Panch Koshi area of Manikarnika waters was made into Trident by Shiva, which resulted in the birth of Brahma from Vishnu’s navel. Brahma then created the mortal world. Shiva then removed the city of Kashi from His Trident and set it in this mortal world. But, in the time of Pralay, Shiva saved it by keeping it safe in his Trishul. That’s why Kashi is also known as AviMuktakshetra.
