Daksheshwar Mahadev

Good

Daksheshwar Mahadev Temple,located at Kankhal, Haridwar, Uttarakhand at a distance of 4 kms from Har ki Pauri. Queen Dhankaur is said to have built it in 1810, but it was actually rebuilt in 1962.nnThis is one of the famous temples in Haridwar as it has beautiful architecture and is a must-visit for devotees and tourists alike. This is the place where Dakshaprajapathy performed Yagya.Though he gave his dauther Sati in marriage to Lord Shiva, he was jealous of him and thought himself to be superior. So he invited Lord Vishnu and all devas for the Yagna but didn't invite Lord Shiva and his cosort.nnHearing about the big yagna, Sati devi wanted to attend the same thoiugh she was not invited. Lord Shiva try to resopn with her as to why she should not attend. But she was insistent and so Lord reluctantly let her go. When she reached the yagasala, she was shocked that her father had sidelined Lord Shiva and was not going to offer the havirbaga to Lord. Sati tried to reason out with Dakshaprajapathy - but on the contrary, he insulted Lord Shiva. Unable to bear the insult, Sati devi ended her life by entering the sacrificial fire.nnHearing about the same, Lord Shiva was enraged and sent Lord Veerabadra who came from the locak of Lord Shiva's hair and his boothaganas to destroy Dakshan. Veerabadra cut his head and Dakshan's wife pleaded with Lord Shiva for mercy and he replaced the head by a goat's head. Dakshaprajapathy realized his mistake and asked for his pardon. All these events took place at the yagasala of Dakshan.nnMust visit this Shiva temple in Haridhwar.
