About Devasthan
From ancient times Lord Khandoba has been worshiped in Maharashtra, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat and Goa of India. His deity is a form of Lord Shiva.
On Hindu month Margashish and the day of "Shukla 6", Champashasti is celebrated as "Shree Khandoba Avtaar Diwas". On Paush poornima Shree Khandoba wed with Mhalsabai; thus we celebrate grand Yatra Mohotsav. On this day many people from Maharashtra as well as Madhya Pradesh, Gujrat, Karnataka, and Goa come. The statue of Khandoba is thought to not have been made by anyone, but rather is self-generated; thus it is called Kor than, here. Kor means "untouched".
Yatra
This temple has a grand yatra of the god Khandoba every year on the Hindu month of Paush and the day of the poornima.[2] This grand celebration lasts three days. The second day of yatra has a very popular bullock cart race locally called the Gaade. This racing generally consists of a pair of bullocks with Bhandara on their whole body. Sometimes the bullocks are led by a horse and a man sitting on it. A specially dedicated track is made for this event on the right side of the temple. Then, the second new track is made at Bhandara Doongar (hill), but in 2011 this race was carried out at the far left of the temple.
The third day of the yatra is called Kathya. Kathya generally stands for the long wooden stick (nearly 35–50 feet), covered by various colored cloths, which is roped to give support. The first kadthi to arrive at the temple is of Pimpalgaon Rotha. The other villages kathya (from Belhe and Aale) follows it. When this kathya touches the top of temple (Kalash), the yatra of the God Khandoba is declared finished.
