**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.

In the local language VENG menas a hug and URLE means remaining. That is how the place got its name as VENGURLE
