SATARA ,NAGEWADI DHAM

This is in my belief is the oldest temple of Maa Shakambari. But I have not much information about this temple. It is said that this area is Maa Shakambari Kshetra. This is the place where rishis-munis did Tapsaya of Adi para Shakti, as explained in Shiv-Puranas (Uma- Samhita). And first appears as Maa Shatakshi and than as Maa Shakambari and killed demon Durgam.

This temple is located in Kedar hills, 6 Kms before Gauri-Kund, on way to Kedar Nath temple; there is an uphill road on the left hand side for Triyugi Narayan temple. On this way 3 Kms before Triyugi Narayan temple, you will find a sign-board indicating a path-way towards this temple. On going down the slope you will find this temple. The surroundings of the temple are beautiful Himalayan peaks, covered with snow and dense forest; you may not found another visitor for the day.

Regarding the purity and power of this area, I can share my experience that after doing the pooja here, I just sat in front of the temple on down slope and did meditation. And I have never felt myself in so deep engrossed in meditation, and vision of Maa Shatakshi, Maa Shakambari and what is Durgam and the Leela played by this powers, all is visualized and understood. In my opinion for meditation, it is the best place on earth, I saw.
