The temple built in the 14th century by the Chalukyas of the South, is situated in Dantewada, a town situated 80 km from Jagdalpur Tehsil, Chhattisgarh. Dantewada is named after the Goddess Danteshwari, the presiding deity of the earlier Kakatiya rulers. Traditionally she is the ''Kuldevi'' (family goddess) of Bastar state,〔(Bastar ) ''Encyclopædia Britannica Eleventh Edition''.〕〔(History of the temle ) Dantewada district Official website.〕〔(Danteshwari Temple ) Chhattisgarh State Tourism, Official website.〕 The temple is as according legends, the spot where the ''Daanth'' or Tooth of Sati fell, during the episode when all the Shakti shrines were created in the ''Satya Yuga''. Every year during Dusshera thousands of tribals from surrounding villages and jungles gather here to pay homage to the goddess, when her idol was taken out of that ancient Danteshwari temple and then taken around the city in an elaborate procession, now a popular tourist attraction part of the 'Bastar Dussehra' festival.〔(Danteshwari Temple )〕〔(Celebration in tribal land ) The Hindu, Dec 14, 2003.〕 There also a is tradition of lighting Jyoti Kalashas during Navaratris here. ==Overview== Situated in Dantewada, south-west of Jagdalpur, at the confluence of the holy rivers Shankini and Dhankini,both the rivers have different colors,this six-hundred-year-old temple is one of the ancient heritage sites of India and is a representation of the religio-socio-cultural history of the Bastar region.
