Devi Mandir


Devi Mandir.. This 250 years old temple, dedicated to Durga, is situated on the banks of a tank. The 18th century temple was built by the Maratha warrior, Sadashivrao Bhau. Sadashivrao, who was the leader of Maratha troops during the Third Battle of Panipat is said to have stayed in Panipat for two months before the battle to train his troops. One day, he found the idol of Devi near the banks of the tank and decided to build a temple around it for daily worship of the Maratha soldiers. Though there was a lot of devastation during the battle, the temple went unharmed and stands today as a celebration of distinct architecture and sculptures.
