DANTAKALI MANDIR

Dantakali Mandir is situated in the middle of the beautiful hillock of Vijayapur in Dharan. The holy temple of Dantakali is famous among the Hindus as the place where lies the sacred tooth of the goddess Satidevi, the consort of the great god Mahadev. According to the myth, a tooth of the deceased wife of Lord Shiva fell off on this spot while Shiva was outrageously traveling on the earth carrying his dead wife. So, this temple was established here in commemoration of the Lord Shiva's wife. The fallen tooth is said to be very much look alike of a human being itself and today it is still believed to be preserved.
