The story goes that in earliest times Britasura was a very powerful demon. He conducted a reign of terror in which the troubled people were scared to death. Even the most powerful gods including Lord Shiva were no match for him when it came to fighting. Britasura was to be killed at any cost but he wouldn t die as long as the chastity of his wife, Brinda, remained intact. Lord Vishnu in the disguise of the demon succeeded in violating Brinda s chastity and the demon was killed in the subsequent encounter. The furious Brinda cursed Vishnu so that he became a stone, plant and tree. These three are regarded as some of his holy incarnations and are worshipped even to this day.
