Tracking the lost worship of devi Ekanamsa.
The Durgastrotras in the Mahabharata and Aryastava of the Harivamsa describe Ekanamsa as being born to Yasoda and Nanda (Yasodagarbhasambhutam… | Nandagopakule jatam…)….
Her position is between Balrama and Sri Krishna with a golden lotus in her hand, uniting the two brothers, and her abode is in the Vindhya mountains.
She’s not Subhadra. It’s Brahmapurana that mixed up Ekanamsa devi with Subhadra, leading to Ekanamsa devi being worshipped as Subhadra in Puri from medieval times (Subhadra is also a sister of Sri Krishna, but she’s not Ekanamsa). While the worship of Ekanamsa devi is now lost, she continues receiving puja in the form of Subhadra, and the tatva or the essence of her being remains alive.

Vandiyur Mariamman Temple, Madurai.
The temple is located at around 5 km from the Meenakshi Amman temple. The temple is popular for the huge pond known as the Vandiyur Mariamman Teppakulam. This pond, which was constructed in 1645 CE, is the largest tank in Tamil Nadu. It is believed that the 7 foot tall Mukuruny Vinayakar idol of the Meenakshi Amman temple was found during the excavation of this pond.
The Mariamman Teppakulam is popular for its Float festival, which is celebrated in a colorful way in the in the month of Thai according to Tamil calendar (January 14th to February 15th). On a full moon night the murtis of Lord Sundareshwarar and Meenakshi devi from the Meenakshi Amman temple is taken from the temple to this tank on beautifully decorated floats. The sight of the floats, the temple, and the huge pond is a mesmerising sight.

The Nandi - Monolithic Bull.
Locally known as Yeduru Basavanna or Nandi, this monolithic bull marks the east end of the Virupaksha Bazaar. The statue is housed in a twin storied pavilion built on an elevated platform. A heap of gigantic boulders behind the pavilion offers an interesting backdrop.

Markandeya hills is located near Vokkaleri, 65 km east of Bengaluru, Karnataka.
The Shiva temple on top of the hill is built thousands of years ago and renovated in 15th century CE. It’s motorable to the top.
Rishi Markandeya is said to have meditated here.
Weilding the old-world charm, Markandeya hill is surrounded by forests and farmlands. A serene, calm place!

Mother Makarvahini (Narmada) Temple,
Kamaniya gate
Jabalpur,Madhya Pradesh
The world's oldest, beautiful and only statue of Punyasalila Maa Narmada is in the temple located in Makarwahini Jabalpur. Cultural carpet shows the craftsmanship of Mother Narmada's landing in this statue. Actually, but in Sanskrit, it is called Capricorn, which is the vehicle of Mother Narmada. That's why it was named Makarwahini. Mother Narmada's appearance is the main subject of this statue. So various gods and goddesses marked in the statue are portrayed as witnesses at the time of descending.
