Daksheswara Mahadev Temple
Daksheswara Mahadev ((ヒンディー語:दक्षेश्वर महादेव मन्दिर)) or Daksha Mahadev temple is a Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, located in the town of Kankhal, about 4 km from Haridwar, Uttarakhand, India. It is named after King Daksha Prajapati, the father of Sati. Daksha is one of the fourteen Prajapatis, creator deities, who preside over procreation and are the protector of life in Hindu mythology.
The present temple was built by Queen Dhankaur in 1810 and rebuilt in 1962. It is a place of pilgrimage for Shaivaite devotees on Maha Shivaratri.〔(Daksheswara Mahadev Temple )〕
==The legend of Daksha==
As mentioned in the ''Mahabharata'' and other texts of Hinduism, King Daksha Prajapati, the father of Sati, Shiva's first wife, performed ''Yagna'' at the place where the temple is situated. Although Sati felt insulted when her father did not invited Shiva to the ritual, she attended the ''yagna''. She found that Shiva was being spurned by her father and she burnt herself in the Yajna Kunda itself. Shiva got angry and sent his ''Gaṇas'', the terrible demi-god Vīrabhadra and Bhadrakali to the ritual.〔(the Horse-sacrifice of the Prajapati Daksha ) The Mahabharata translated by Kisari Mohan Ganguli (1883 -1896], Book 12: Santi Parva: Mokshadharma Parva: Section CCLXXXIV. p. 317. “I am known by the name of Virabhadra’’ and I have sprung from the wrath of Rudra. This lady (who is my companion) is called Bhadrakali and hath sprung from the wrath of the goddess.”〕 On the direction of Shiva, Virabhadra appeared with Shiva's ''ganas'' in the midst of Daksha's assembly like a storm wind and waged a fierce war with the gods and mortals present culminating in the beheading of Daksha, who was later given the head of a goat at the behest of Brahma and other gods. Much of the details of the Ashvamedha Yagna (Horse Sacrifice) of Daksha are found in the Vayu Purana.
