The Jejuri Khandoba Temple in Maharashtra is dedicated to Lord Khandoba, a manifestation of Lord Shiva. Its history traces back to the 14th century during the Yadava dynasty. It is believed that Lord Khandoba emerged during a celestial battle, riding a white horse and wielding a sword to defeat demons.


Prominence increased during the 17th-century Bhakti movement, with Maratha ruler Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj expressing deep devotion. The temple, known for its unique tradition of offering turmeric powder, draws devotees annually during the Somvati Amavasya festival. Jejuri Khandoba Temple stands as a cultural and historical gem, symbolising devotion and the enduring legacy of Lord Khandoba.
