The temple at Jejuri is considered one of the foremost centres of worship for Lord Khandoba, with its origins linked to mythological tales of Lord Shiva&#8217;s incarnation to vanquish demons.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"story-of-khandoba-lord\"><\/span>Story of Khandoba Lord<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Lord Khandoba has two wives, Mhalsa from the merchant (Vani) community and Banai from the shepherd (Dhangar) caste. Mhalsa symbolizes culture with her traditional marriage and culinary skills, while Banai, his love marriage partner, represents nature with her steadfast yet non-culinary prowess.
