History
Taxakeshwar or Takhaji is a place of religious and historical importance with temple of Taxaka at village Navali in Mandsaur district in Madhya Pradesh. It is situated at a distance of 22 km from Bhanpura town on Hinglajgarh road.[1] This is the site of serpent king taxak, where he is worshipped as Taxakeshawar but the local people call him Takhaji. Curiously enough he shares the worship of the country folk with Dhanvantari.[2] The shrine in question stands on a most romantic spot from village Navali[3] situated on the table land at the foot of which Bhanpura lies.
