DAKSHA MAHADEV TEMPLE

The ancient temple of Daksha Mahadev is situated in the South Kankhal  town.

The mythological story about this place is that king Daksha Prajapati, father of Sati (Lord Shiva's fist wife) performed yagya at this place. Daksha Prajapati did not invite Lord Shiva and Sati felt insulted. Therefore she burnt her self in the yagya kund. This incident provoked the disciples and followers Mahadev  who killed King Daksha, but later on Lord Mahadev brought him back to life. Daksha Mahadev temple is thus a tribute to this legend.
