. Kopeshwar – The Angry Shiva
-
The word Kopeshwar of kopeshwar temple in khidrapur means “Lord of Anger” (Kopa = anger).
-
After Sati’s death, Shiva’s rage was so intense that the world trembled.
-
To calm him, Lord Vishnu (Dhopeshwar) appeared here in Khidrapur.
-
Seeing Vishnu, Shiva’s fury cooled down, and balance was restored.
-
That’s why this temple is unique: it houses Shiva (Kopeshwar) and Vishnu (Dhopeshwar) together. In Hindu mythology, the moon (Chandra) has a special bond with Lord Shiva. Shiva is also called Chandrashekhar — the one who holds the crescent moon on his head.At Khidrapur, the story of Kopeshwar (angry Shiva) is tied to cosmic balance.
Nearest place to Khidrapur is Narsinwadi located 30 km away from SANGLI.
