A sacred shrine steeped in mythology

The holy town of Haridwar is a vibrant tapestry of appealing shrines that astound with their sacred significance. Within these hallowed shrines stands the Daksha Mahadev Place of worship and Sati Kund (tank), a appealing sanctuary devoted to Lord Shiva and Goddess Sati that holds a special place in the hearts of pilgrims.

The temple's very name echoes its connection to Daksha Prajapati, the father of Goddess Sati, whose cosmic union with Lord Shiva remains etched into the fabric of Hindu lore. This ancient sanctum, likewise reverently recognised as the Daksheshwar Mahadev Place of worship, is found on the southern fringes of Kankhal city. The presence of the hallowed Sati Kund, the Yagna Kund in which Sati self-immolated herself due to her father's non-acceptance of her husband, heightens its contemplative atmosphere.
