Daksheshwar Temple, located in Kankhal near Haridwar, is a revered Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. It is closely associated with the legend of Daksha Prajapati, the father of Goddess Sati. According to mythology, Daksha organized a grand yajna but deliberately did not invite Lord Shiva and Sati. Hurt by the insult to her husband, Sati immolated herself in the yajna fire. Enraged, Lord Shiva sent his fierce form, Virabhadra, to destroy the yajna and punish Daksha. Later, Shiva forgave Daksha, who was resurrected with a goat's head. The temple stands as a reminder of devotion, sacrifice, and divine justice.
