Walakeshwar Temple, Patur (वाळकेश्वर मंदिर, पातूर)




Walakeshwar Temple (Patur, District: Akola) is at about 1.5 KM from the village Patur. It is at the Patur-Bodkha road. This is a small, bullock cart road crossing the river. This is a Charanankit Sthan of Shri Chakradhar Swami. Sarvadnya Shri Chakradhar Swamiji came here from Wadner-Bhujang, and stayed here for one night. When Swamiji came here, he saw a burning dead body at the river bank. Swamijij took the cloth from the dead body. One of the security person saw Swamiji taking the cloth, he asked Swamiji not to take that cloth. Swamiji showed him that dilapidated cloth, so he started requesting Swamiji to accept that cloth but Sarvadnya left that place without accepting it and came to Walakeshwar Temple and stayed here for one night. Next day Sarvadnya left this place and went to Alegaon village.
