Lehra Durga Mandir is a Hindu temple dedicated to the goddess Durga located on the bank of the Pawah River (a tributary of the West Rapti River) 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) from the Lehra railway station in Maharajganj district, Uttar Pradesh, India.
[edit] Description
It is believed that the temple existed from Dvapara Yuga (before the Mahabharat war) and was founded by Lord Krishna in the presence of Pandavas during the Agyatvaas time of the Pandavas. Earlier it was in the jungle of Adrvan (now known as Adrawna Village). It is connected by road and rail. It is fifty kilometers from Maharajganj, the district headquarters, and 12 ilometers from Pharend tehsil (also known as Anand Nagar). It is fifty kilometers from Gorakhpur on the Gorakhpur-Gonda rail route.
Every year in the Chaitra (month) of Navratri (April) a fifteen-day celebration is held, which runs from the first day of Navratr to the day of poornima (poranmasi). The festival attracts a lot of devotees.
