FAQs On Danteshwari Temple
Dantewada, Chhattisgarh, India
Historical Significance: The Danteshwari Temple is an ancient and revered Hindu temple dedicated to Goddess Danteshwari, a fierce and powerful form of Shakti or Goddess Durga. It is one of the 52 sacred Shakti Peethas in India, which are mythological sites where parts of Goddess Sati's body are beli eved to have fallen; in this case, her Daanth (tooth) is said to have landed here, giving the town and the deity its name. The temple served as the Kuldevi (family goddess) shrine for the former Kakatiya rulers of the Bastar state, cementing its central role in the regional socio-political and religious landscape. The current structure, predominantly built in the 14th century by King Annamdev, brother of Kakatiya ruler Prataprudra of Warangal, stands as a testament to the patronage of various dynasties, though earlier structures date back to the 11th-12th century under the Chindak Nagvanshi rulers. The confluence of the two holy rivers, the dark-watered Shankini and the white-watered Dhankini, further sanctifies the site. The deity's main idol, carved from a striking black stone, is a constant source of reverence. The continuous worship and the legendary status of the temple contribute to its immense spiritual pull, drawing devotees and tourists alike from all over India throughout the year, making it the undeniable spiritual heart of the Dantewada district. The ongoing traditions and rituals preserved within its walls are a living encapsulation of centuries of local history and Bastar's rich cultural heritage.
