 On a request by Goddess Parvaty, Lord Shiva described various Teerths (sacred ponds/lakes) and deities in Kashi. Lord Shiva told her all Lings are having the divine powers of Teerths.

Lord Shiva described the power of Ashadeshwar Ling. A devotee worshipping this Ling is cleansed of all his sins. (Kashi Khand 97).
Ashadeshwar temple is a stand alone temple and well maintained. A multitude of devotees visit this temple. While the ancient Ling (Kashi Khand) is available towards the back side of the temple, within the last century some noble person has installed a Ling within the sanctum sanctorum of the temple. Devotees worship both the Lings
