Later, people say the spirit of a Brahmin became a Brahmaraksha, which then troubled the King because of his violence. After the Brahmin died, the King began having troubling dreams that greatly bothered him.

To stop the dreams, the King asked otherwise Brahmins for help. The Brahmins suggested that he build a temple. They believe that making the temple for Lord Shiva will relieve the King's mental suffering.

King wanted peace of mind and listened to the advice about pleasing the Brahmin's spirit. He brought the sacred Shiva Lingam from the spiritual town of Kashi. They called the Shiva Lingam Omkareshwara and placed it in the temple. They now call the temple the Omkareshwara temple.
