01 — The story

Shri Katyayani Baneshwar Temple, also known as the Aversa Hindu Narayani, stands in Aversa, a coastal town close to Ankola in Karnataka's Uttara Kannada district.

For many families the goddess Katyayani is the kuladevi, or family deity, among them Konkani Kharvis, Daivajnya Brahmins, Saraswat Brahmins and Konkani Gaud Saraswat Brahmins. A trust bearing the temple's name looks after its running, and the whole complex operates on solar energy.
