== History ==
[[File:Shivlingam of Panchvadan Sthan.jpg|thumb|Five-faced Shivlingam at Kusedhi village]]
[[Historical evidence]]s of this [[Lingam|shivling]] are scarce.The Head of temple committee, Karyanand Singh, says that "the elders of the village have been recounting that in the [[Timeline of Indian history#14th century|14th century]], a person named Madho Tiwari used to visit [[Baidyanath Temple|Baidyanath Dham]], [[Deoghar]] every month to perform [[Abhisheka|abhishek]] for [[Bholenath|Bhole Baba]]. One day, [[Bholenath|Bhole Baba]] appeared in Madho Tiwari's [[dream]] and instructed him to excavate this site. Following this, a unique ''[[Panchamukha|Panchamukhi]] [[Shivling]]'' was discovered during the excavation. Subsequently, Chhattu Guruji (''छट्टू गुरूजी'') from the village constructed the temple."<ref name=":0" />

[[File:Parvati Idol at Panchvadan Sthan.jpg|thumb|359x359px|Parvati devi at Panchvadan Sthan[[File:Hanuman idol at Kusedhi.jpg|thumb|Hanuman Idol at Baba Panchvadan Sthan]]]]
In recent years, the temple complex has been developed by devotees with no known [[Government funding|government assistance]]. [[Ashok Choudhary|Ashok Chaudhary]] is reported to have personally donated silver snake statue and silver [[Chatra (umbrella)|chhatra]] for shivling and also contributed for the consecration of the statue of [[Nandi (Hinduism)|Nandi]] for the temple.

The complex features a [[Parvati]] shrine located in front of the main temple. Between the two structures lies a [[well]], which is commonly used for fetching water for [[abhisheka]]. While there are [[Tap (valve)|taps]] in the complex, they are primarily used for washing hands and feet. A [[water filter]] is installed by the devotees within the complex, which also houses a [[Hanuman]] temple. The area is characterized by significant greenery and is enclosed by large fortifying walls. A daily evening [[Arti (Hinduism)|Aarti]] is conducted at approximately 6 PM.

This Shiva temple experiences a surge in the number of devotees on [[Monday]]s, during [[Shravana (month)|the month of Shravana]], and especially on [[Maha Shivaratri]], as these times are considered particularly auspicious for worshiping [[Shiva|Lord Shiva]].<ref>{{Cite web |last= |first= |date=2023-09-01 |title=जागरण के साथ श्रावणी महोत्सव का हुआ समापन..इस वर्ष पंचबदन स्थान में लगभग तीन लाख लोगों ने चढ़ाया जल |trans-title=The grand festival of Shravan concluded with a devotional night.This year, approximately three lakh people offered water at Panchbadan Sthan. |url=https://sheikhpuralive.com/archives/12187/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230906052313/https://sheikhpuralive.com/archives/12187/ |archive-date=6 September 2023 |access-date=2025-02-05 |website=Sheikhpura Live |language=hi}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=2024-07-22 |title=बाबा कामेश्वरनाथ-पंचबदन मंदिर में उमड़ी श्रद्धालुओं की भीड़ |trans-title=A crowd of devotees gathered at Baba Kameshwar Nath & Panchbadan Temple. |url=https://www.bhaskar.com/local/bihar/shekhapura/news/crowds-of-devotees-gathered-at-baba-kameshwarnath-panchbadan-temple-133361655.html |url-access=registration |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240724015043/https://www.bhaskar.com/local/bihar/shekhapura/news/crowds-of-devotees-gathered-at-baba-kameshwarnath-panchbadan-temple-133361655.html |archive-date=2024-07-24 |access-date=2025-01-26 |work=[[Dainik Bhaskar]] |language=hi }}</ref> The ladies who observe the 16 [[Monday|Somavara]] [[vrata]] are seen to flock here in groups.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2017-07-10 |title=प्राचीन पंचमुखी शिवलिंग पर उमड़ेंगे श्रद्धालु |trans-title=Devotees will flock to the ancient Panchmukhi Shivling. |url=https://www.prabhatkhabar.com/state/bihar/shiekhpura/1019086- |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250126201707/https://www.prabhatkhabar.com/state/bihar/shiekhpura/1019086- |archive-date=26 January 2025 |access-date=2025-01-26 |website=[[Prabhat Khabar]] |language=hi}}</ref>
