The deity here is called Ekaveerika mata. The temple is in Yavatmal district in Maharashtra. It is 50 km from Kinwat and 126 km from Nanded. Nagpur is 210 km by road from Mahur,There was a great king called Daksha Prajapati who was son of Lord Brahma. He had 27 daughters and Sati devi is one among them. Sati devi got married to Lord Shiva. When Dashka entered the arena of a yaga performed by Agni, every one except Lord Shiva stood up as a mark of respect. Daksha felt insulted by Lord Shiva’s behaviour. Later when Daksha conducted a yaga him self , he did not invite his daughter and his son in law.Though Sati felt bad because of the non invitation, she wanted to attend the yaga against the wish of Lord Shiva.When Sati, attended the yaga no body has cared for her and she felt insulted by the actions of her sisters and parents. Then when her father started abusing her husband she could not control her feelings and scarified herself at the place of yagna by creating agni from earth with her right thumb of her foot.Knowing this Lord Shiva removed one bunch of Jhatha from his head and hit it on the earth. From that Lord Veerabhadra has born and rushed to yaga spot and killed Daksha by cutting his head. Later Shiva went to the spot and taken the body of sati from the fire and started dancing with it. The world was terrorized from this Tandava Nritya and to stop this Nritya, Vishnu used his Sudarshan chakra and completely cut the Sati’s body in to pieces. These body parts have fallen at various places in India and Srilanka. Where ever these parts have fallen the places are called Shaktipeethas. There are 18 such places and they are called Ashta (8) Dasa(10) Shakti peethas.About the Temple:Location:Nanded,maharastra,431601Country: IndiaNearest Airport: Nagpur(NAG)Built-In: 13 centuryBuilt-By: Yadava King of DevagiriDeity: Ekaveerika mata.Festivals: Dattatreya Jayanti(Datta Poornima)Temple Timings:6 AM to 9 PM.Best Time To Visit: September to February You Might Also Like Kashmir Kallumalai Temple, Ipoh Thirupparamkunram Murugan Temple, Tirupparankunram Sydney Murugan Temple Share 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail The Source Follow Author previous post Kolhapur (Maharastra) next post Ujjain (Madhya Pradesh) You may also like Bookmark Jillellamudi 8 months ago Bookmark Vitthal Temple, Pandharpur – Maharashtra 8 months ago Bookmark Lakshmi Narasimhar Temple, Narasinghapuram – Tamil Nadu 8 months ago Bookmark Koodal Azhagar Temple, Madurai – Tamil Nadu 8 months ago Bookmark Dwarkadhish Temple, Dwarka – Gujarat 8 months ago Bookmark Bhadrachalam Temple, – Telangana 8 months ago Leave a Comment Cancel Reply Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.
