Why did Daksha Prajapati curse Chandra Dev to wither and die?
Prajapati daksh, the father of Sati (shiva's wife), had several other daughters. Two of them-Rohini & Revati were married to Chandrama(lord of moon). But Chandrama was too partial towards Rohini, paying very less attention towards Revati.
When Revati complained his father Prajapati Daksh regarding this sort of Injustice to her. Daksh cursed Chandrama that he will have to suffer from 'Kshay'- deterioration of body within short period of time. In order to get rid of the curse Chandrama performed one of the Hardest penance of
'Mahamritunjaya mantra' composed by rishi Markandeya in the Prabhas region. Lord Mahadev, on the very occasion of Mahashivratri appeared in front of him informed him that he could not get rid of the curse because what he had done was also injust. Chandrama realized his mistake and apologized for it. Eventhough Mahadev explained him that he had to face the curse but only half of it.
In order to make Chandrama free from curse Mahadev had to place him on his head as Daksh's curse doesn't get in vain. Mahadev booned Chandrama that 15 days of the month he would face the curse and the remaining 15 days he would be growing to larger extend. The tottaly diminished Chandrama is nothing but "AMAVSYA" and the full sized Chandrama is "POORNIMA".After getting such boon from Lord Shiva, Chandrama built a huge Temple and named that Jyotirling as 'Somnath mahadev' here Som means chandra.
