Daksh Mahadev Temple And Sati Kund

THE ANCIENT TEMPLE IN THE SOUTH KANKHAL TOWN

DAKSH MAHADEV TEMPLE AND SATI KUND

The ancient temple of Daksha Mahadev stands in the south Kankhal town. Mythology has it that the King Daksh Prajapati, father of Sati (Lord Shiva's first wife) performed yagya at this place, but didn’t invite Lord Shiva (Mahadev). Feeling insulted, Sati burnt herself in the yagya kund. Provoked by this, the ganas (followers) of Lord Shiva killed King Daksha. Later Lord Shiva brought him back to life.
