Tuljapur:

- Famous pilgrimage of Devi Bhavani: Tuljapur is associated with the

legend of Anubhuti. According to this legend during Krita Yuga there was a brahmin
named Kardam who was well-versed in the Vedas. He had a devoted wife named Anubhuti.
However as fate had it, Kardam passed away plunging Anubhuti in a sea of grief. She decided
to perform Sati and immolate herself but an ethereal voice prevented her and asked her to
take care of her small son. Anubhuti discharged her duties and brought up the son as a self-
dependent young man. Then she severed the ties of the world and as a sanyasa went to
perform penance in Mount Meru. One day the demon king Kukoor saw her and became
charmed by her beauty. He told her to marry him but when rebuffed by Anubhuti started
using his force to take her away. Anubhuti prayed to the Goddess in that distress. The
Goddess appeared before her and a terrific battle ensued with the demon king. Finally Devi
Bhavani killed the demon. She then told Anubhuti to ask for a boon. Anubhuti asked the boon
that she should be able to see and worship Her whenever she desired. Granting the boon the
Devi made Her abode at Yamunachala (in the Sahyadri mountains). When Sri Rama was
searching for Devi Sita, Goddess Bhavani also blessed Him.

The Devi at Tuljapur is popularly called Tulja Bhavani.

- Tuljapur is located in the Osmanabad district of Maharashtra.
