Accordingly, Lord Shiva decided to remain invisible in the Shivalinga installed by Vyad Muni.
According to another history, in the era of King Sakuran, the Vyadeshwar Shivalinga was re-invented and the Temple, which we see today, was constructed.
Shiva means auspiciousness, and lingam means a sign or a symbol, so the Shivalinga is regarded as a "symbol of the great God of the universe who is all-auspiciousness".
Thus, Lord Shiva stays at Guhagar in the 'Vyadeshwar' Shivalinga from those years thereto now.
