**Story
of Creation of Vengurla**
Many many years ago, when Vengurla was not center of trade and commerce
there is a village called Ansur (situated 4 km away from Vengurla)
was the main center. Ansur was central place of old vengurla. Initial
temple of Shri Sateri was placed at Ansur
known as 'Mul Bhumikeche Mandir'. That time, a man from Parab family unit
always march ten miles every day go to see and urge Shri Sateri
Devi. As the time conceded by and the man grew older, it became extra
difficult for the unfortunate guy to hold out this schedule. Still he
maintained the prayers with the same moderation and enthusiasm.
Sri Devi was delighted to see the commitment and pledge shown by her follower.
She blessed him and promised to end his suffering
by coming nearer to his residence. On the way reverse, the
old man witnessed a dazzling view where a ground like construction was unexpectedly
growing from the ground. He realized that Shri
Sateri Devi is appearing at the peak and hugged that formation
with excessive pleasure. He asked Shri Devi to continue
there and stop growing. At once the structure stopped increasing.
That location is nothing but toady’s Shri Devi Sateri
Mandir.
