Duryodhana Temple

Location

Mori’s local inhabitants claims or believed themselves as the ascendants of the Pandavas and Kauravas. They worship the Kauravas as the God. The Duryodhana temple, the temple for the eldest Kaurava, in Jakhol near Mori was constructed by the local folks. The main deity is Duryodhana. This is the biggest temple in the state dedicated to Duryodhana.

Folk stories say that Tons river, known anciently as river Tamas, is formed by the tears of the local people who wept over the defeat of Kauravas in the great battle of Mahabharatha. This river water is not being used for drinking, since according to the local belief, still the tear flows. This is a nice temple to visit having a variety of customs and of course for the deity also.
