Dewas Tekri

Dewas city is recognized by the mountain here. It belongs to Vindhyachal mountain range. Here we found temples of Goddess Chamunda and Tulja Bhawani. Near Chamunda temple is the Bhairav Temple. It is a cave temple. According to ancient belief it belongs to the time of Vikramaditya reign. Historical proofs shows that it is a religious temple constructed during Raja Bhoj’s reign, and reconstructed during Rajput and Maratha reign. On the tekri is the Shakti Peeth of the Nath Yogis. The priest if the peeth traditionally belongs to the Nath community. According to the Nath history, we find Bhrathari, brother of King Vikramaditya, who has relation with this region belonging to Naths. Yogi Gorakhnath was also related to this region.  According to evidences of 250-300 years, it has been proved that this is a region of meditation of the Nath yogis. The Hanuman temple situated on the Chamunda mountain belongs to this ancient range. Near this is the Kalika temple in which is situated a water pool.
