==Mythological Origin==
The name Dhabaleswar ( ''Dhabala'' or ''White'' + ''Eeswar'' or ''God'' ) is attributed to a miracle performed by ##Lord Shiva### Once a thief stole a black bull calf from a village and fled to a Shiva temple# He hid himself with the calf in the sanctum while the angry crowd waited outside the temple# The crowd could clearly hear the calf calling out# The thief prayed fervently to Lord Shiva to deliver him from the crowd# Taking pity on him, the Lord appeared as a ##Sanyassin## before the crowd and asked them the cause of their agitation# On being told that they suspected the thief of hiding in the sanctum along with the black calf, the sanyassin brought the calf outside to dispel their doubts# The calf turned out to be white, seeing which the crowd let the thief go# The sanyassin disappeared and the thief realized who had come to his aid# He confessed and apologized to the crowd# He took a vow to spend the rest of his life in the service of the Lord# The act of turning a black calf to white caused Lord Shiva to be also known as Dhabaleswara#
