LORD KHANDOBA :
Khandoba, also known as Khanderao, Khanderaya, Malhari Martand,Malanna, Mailar
Malanna, Mailara Linga, and Mallu Khan is a regional Hindu deity, worshipped as
Mārtanda Bhairava, a form of Shiva, mainly in the Deccan plateau of India,
especially in the states of Maharashtra and Karnataka.
He is the most popular family deity in Maharashtra. He is also the patron deity of warrior, farming, herding as well as some Brahmin (priest) castes, the hunters and gatherers of the hills and forests.
The cult of Khandoba has linkages with Vaishnava and Jain traditions, and also assimilates all communities irrespective of caste, including Muslims. Khandoba is sometimes identified with Mallanna of Andhra Pradesh and Mailara of Karnataka.
The worship of Khandoba developed during the 9th and 10th centuries from a folk deity into a composite god possessing the attributes of Shiva, Bhairava, Surya and Karttikeya (Skanda).
He is depicted either in the form of a Lingam, or as an image riding on a bull or a horse. The foremost centre of Khandoba worship is Jejuri in Maharashtra.
The legends of Khandoba, found in the text Malhari Mahatmya and also narrated in folk songs, revolve around his victory over demons Mani-malla and his marriages.
