Born From Shiva
In a battle of Shiva versus Andhakasur, from Shiva’s body, a drop of sweat falls on the ground. Then a huge creature takes birth from it. He was very hungry. So, he started doing “tapasya” to get a boon from Shiva. Pleased by his devotion, Shiva asked him to make his wish. Then he wished for letting him eat the three worlds. Shiva granted that wish.
So, he began to eat all three worlds. Scared of him, the gods and demons united and they caught him with different body parts and pinned his head and contained him inside the earth. Therefore, he became a part of Lord Brahma’s creation. So, he requested Brahma, that he’s now a part of his creation, free him from this pain. After that he was given the title as “Vastu Purush”. Brahma gave him a boon that before creating any structure on land, one needs to worship him first. This is why people worship him before creating a structure or building.
