History Of Kankali Temple

Darbhanga, Bihar, India:
The Kankali Temple (or Kankali Maa Mandir) is an ancient and highly revered Hindu temple located within the massive fortified walls of the Darbhanga Fort (Ram Bagh Fort). It holds a significant place in the Shakta tradition, associated with the worship of the Goddess Kali or Durga, often in her fier ce form as Kankali. The temple has a deep connection to the history of the Darbhanga Raj. The current temple structure was built, or more accurately, reconstructed to its present, grand form by Maharaja Kameshwar Singh after the original was severely damaged in the devastating 1934 earthquake. Legend holds that the idol of Maa Kankali was found in the Yamuna River near Delhi by Mahamohopadhyay Mahesh Thakur, the founder of the Khandwala dynasty, in 1557, and was initially installed at his native village of Bhour. The idol was later moved to the Ram Bagh site, and the temple built around it. A unique and noteworthy aspect of this temple is the tradition of worshipping a fragmented or broken idol, which defies the common Hindu practice of not worshipping broken images. The temple is famous for following the Tantric system of worship, attracting various sadhaks (spiritual practitioners) and devotees, especially during the two major Navaratri periods. While it was historically a private temple of the royal family, it is now open to the public, though its operational control and maintenance are still managed by the descendants of the Darbhanga Raj.:
