Theological significance

Revered as the kuldevi (tutelary deity) of Maharashtra and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, who was blessed with the divine Bhavani sword by her grace. Sati's right shoulder fell here, giving rise to 'Tvarita'—the Goddess who moves with lightning speed to protect her devotees.
