Shree Pedkai Mata Mandir — Attraction in Maharashtra

Deities in Hinduism are referred to as Deva (masculine) and Devi (feminine).4446] The root of these terms mean "heavenly, divine, anything of excellence".[47] According to Douglas Harper, the etymological roots of Deva mean "a shining one," from *div- "to shine," and it is a cognate with Greek dios "divine" and Zeus, and Latin deus (Old Latin deivos).[48]

In the earliest Vedic literature, all supernatural beings are called Asuras.[49 By the late Vedic period (~500 BC), benevolent supernatural beings are referred to as Deva-Asuras. In post-Vedic texts, such as the Puranas and the Itihasas of Hinduism, the Devas represent the good, and the Asuras the bad.3 In some medieval Indian literature, Devas are also referred to as Suras and contrasted with their equally powerful, but malevolent half-brothers referred to as the Asuras.51]

Hindu pantheon is part of Indian mythology, both Bhataras and Bhataris and Devas and Devis feature in one of many cosmological theories in Hinduism.[52

मी पेडकाई मातेच्या मंदिरात पहिल्यांदा गेलेलो.. मंदीर परिसर पाहून खूपच छान वाटलं... आणी छान म्हणजे मदिर रोडापासून अगदी काही मिनिटांच्या अंतरावर आहे, मंदिराच्या परिसरात पोहचलो वर टेकडी वर चढण्यासाठी सुरुवात केली.. आणि बघतो तर काय वरती चढण्यासाठी जी रस्त्यांची रचना केली गेली आहे ती अतीशय उत्तम पद्धतीची म्हणजे लहान मुलांपासून ते वयोवृद्ध व्यक्ती देखील अगदी आरामाने वरती पोहचू शकतात. वरती पोहचल्या वर देवीचे दर्शन घेतले की मनाला खूप प्रसन्न वाटायला लागत..! वरती पोहचल्या वर निसर्गाचे सुदंर चित्र वरून दिसते... तुम्ही देखील या मंदिरावर एकदा अवश्य भेट द्या अतीशय सुंदर असे मंदीर आहे. मला अजुन संधी मिळाली की जायला आवडेल.! || देवी पेडकाई माता की जय ||

I went to Pedkai Mata Temple for the first time.. It was very nice to see the temple premises... and the good thing is that it is just a few minutes away from Madir Road. It is a very good method which means that people from children to old people can reach the top very comfortably. When you reach the top and take darshan of the Goddess, your mind feels very happy..! On reaching the top, a beautiful picture of nature can be seen from above... You must also visit this temple once. It is a very beautiful temple. I would love to go if I still get the chance! || Devi Pedkai...
