The town of Bijbihara lies about two miles above Cakradhara, and was a major tīrtha in early times. It was also the seat of the ancient southern administrative division of Maḍavarājya. Its Kashmiri name, Vijabror, is derived from Vijayabhaṭṭāraka, a synonym of Vijayeśvara, the name of the famous Śiva-liṅga formerly enthroned there, of which no trace now remains.
