Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: Wisdom Library: Skanda-puranaDehalī (देहली, “protector”) refers to one of the fifty-six vināyakas located at Kāśī (Vārāṇasī), and forms part of a sacred pilgrimage (yātrā), described in the Kāśīkhaṇḍa (Skanda-purāṇa 4.2.57). He is also known as Dehalīvināyaka, Dehalīgaṇeśa and Dehalīvighneśa. These fifty-six vināyakas are positioned at the eight cardinal points in seven concentric circles (8x7). They center around a deity named Ḍhuṇḍhirāja (or Ḍhuṇḍhi-vināyaka) positioned near the Viśvanātha temple, which lies at the heart of Kāśī, near the Gaṅges. This arrangement symbolises the interconnecting relationship of the macrocosmos, the mesocosmos and the microcosmos.
Dehalī is positioned in the Western corner of the first circle of the kāśī-maṇḍala. According to Rana Singh (source), his shrine is located at “on Panchakroshi route, in Bhatauli village”. Worshippers of Dehalī will benefit from his quality, which is defined as “the well-wisher to devotees”. His coordinates are: Lat. 25.21122, Lon. 82.51018 (or, 25°12'40.4"N, 82°30'36.7"E) (Google maps)
Dehalī, and the other vināyakas, are described in the Skandapurāṇa (the largest of the eighteen mahāpurāṇas). This book narrates the details and legends surrounding numerous holy pilgrimages (tīrtha-māhātmya) throughout India. It is composed of over 81,000 metrical verses with the core text dating from the before the 4th-century CE.
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationDehalī (देहली) refers to the “threshold”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.54 (“Description of the duties of the chaste wife”).—Accordingly, as a Brahmin lady said to Pārvatī: “[...] She shall not talk to any woman who disparages or hates her husband. She shall not stand alone anywhere nor shall she take bath in the nude. A chaste lady shall never sleep on a mortar threshing rod, a broom, a grinding stone, a machine or on the threshold (dehalī). Except at the time of sexual intercourse she shall never show her maturity and initiative. She shall like whatever her husband is interested in. [...]”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences.
