| | {{Redirect category shell| |
| According to [[Hindu mythology]], sage [[Parashurama]] created the land of [[Konkan]] by shooting his arrow into the sea and commanding the Sea God to retract the waters to the point where his arrow landed. This new land came to be known as ''Sapta-Konkana'', meaning "piece of earth", "corner of earth", or "piece of a corner", derived from [[Sanskrit]] words: ''koṇa'' (कोण, corner) + ''kaṇa'' (कण, piece).<ref name="skanda">

| He asked various deities to settle in the newly created land and protect the resident clans. Parashurama was a devotee of the god [[Shiva]], requested that the God appear to him daily, so Shiva appeared in 60 places where temples were built. The sage Vyad then installed the [[lingam]] of Shiva at this temple in [[Guhagar]]. The Shiva icon and temple was thus called Vyadeshwar (the Lord of Vyad).
| |
|
| |
| Vyadeshwar was lost to time and rediscovered in the era of King Sakuran, when the current temple structure was constructed.<ref>http://www.konkanyatra.com/chiplun/g8.html</ref>

| |
| ==Style ==
| |
| [[File:Plan of Shri Vyadeshwar temple.jpg|thumb|Plan of Shri Vyadeshwar temple]]
| |
| The architectural style is called 'Panchayatan'. A [[Panchayatana (temple)|Panchayatan temple]] contains four subordinate shrines in four corners and the main shrine in the center of the podium, which forms the base.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.the-world-heritage-sites.com/khajuraho.htm|title=Welcome the-world-heritage-sites.com - BlueHost.com|website=www.the-world-heritage-sites.com}}</ref> Here, [[Shiva]] is Vyadeshwar the central shrine, with [[Surya]], [[Ganesha]], [[Ambika (goddess)|Ambika]] (Shiva's consort) and [[Vishnu]] with his wife [[Lakshmi]] as the South-East, South-West, North-West and North-East subordinate shrines respectively. [[Nandi (bull)|Nandi]] (the ''[[vahana]]'' of Shiva) sits in front of the main shrine.
| |
|
| |
| The temple has three entrances to the east, west and south. Shri [[Garuda]] (the ''vahana'' of Vishnu) and Shri [[Hanuman]] are installed on either sides of the East entrance, inside the temple.
| |
|
| |
| ==Updates==
| |
| This 'Panchayatan' temple is ancient, as are its deities. Due to aging, the three shrines were found eroded. In May 2015, the shrines of Shri [[Parvati]] (Ambikamata), Shri Garud and Shri [[Hanuman]] were ceremonially replaced by new shrines. Also the shrine of Shri Suryanarayan was replaced later. All the required reinstatement rituals were systematically performed. The old entrance facing due East was small in size and was inconvenient. That entrance (Mahadwar in local Marathi language) was replaced with a completely renovated gate, during the recent renovation of the temple.<ref>http://vyadeshwar.webs.com/</ref>

| |
| ==Incarnations of Shri Vyadeshwar==
| |
| Three small pieces were chipped out from the main or core part of the Pindi. One piece was located at Borya Adoor; the second piece went to Asgoli and the third piece to Anjanwel.<ref name=gaz1/> At these locations, new Shiva temples were erected. These temples are known as Talkeshwar, Balkeshwar (Valukeshwar) and Udaleshwar (Uddalakeshwar),<ref>{{cite web|url=http://wikimapia.org/13304741/Uddalakeshwar-Shiv-Temple|title=Uddalakeshwar Shiv Temple - Wikimapia|website=wikimapia.org}}</ref> respectively. These three Shiva Pindis are considered to be incarnations of Shri Vyadeshwar. Devotees of Shri Vyadeshwar are instructed to visit these three temples.
