FAQs On Kankhal

Haridwar, Uttarakhand, India
The Great Sacrifice: This temple is arguably the most historically and mythologically charged site in Haridwar, being the place where King Daksha Prajapati performed his great fire sacrifice (Yagna). The myth states that Daksha, father of Goddess Sati (Lord Shiva’s first wife), insulted Shiva by n ot inviting him to the sacrifice. Sati, unable to bear the insult to her husband, immolated herself in the Yagna Kunda (fire pit) here. Shiva's Wrath: This act provoked Lord Shiva's fierce rage. He sent Virabhadra and Bhadrakali who destroyed the sacrifice and beheaded Daksha, who was later resurrected with a goat's head. The site is one of the Shakti Peethas where Sati's body parts are believed to have fallen. Present Structure: The current temple structure was built by Queen Dhankaur of Landaura in 1810 and has been rebuilt since. It houses a Shivlingam representing the spot where the incident occurred. Adjacent Shrines: The complex also includes the Das Mahavidya Temple (dedicated to the ten forms of the Goddess) and the Daksha Ghat on the Ganga, making it a comprehensive site of Shaiva and Shakta worship: End.
