The
puranas, have listed 108 sites where Shakti (the
goddess of power) is manifested. Amongst these,
the Karveer area (the area where the present town
of Kolhapur is located), is of special
significance. This is one of the six abodes of
Shakti, where one can achieve both fulfillment of
desires as well as salvation from them. It is
therefore considered to be of greater significance
than Uttar Kashi. Shri Mahalakshmi is the consort
of Shri Vishnu and it is said that they both
reside in the Karveer area. |
