Pandarinath Temple is an important temple at Maheshwar. Unlike other temples of this place, this temple is devoted to Lord Vishnu. According to local beliefs, Lord Krishna incarnated as Pandarinath on the eighth day of the New Moon day (Krishna Paksha or dark fortnight) in the Holy Hindu month of Sravan. This happened at the end of Dwapara Yuga.
The Puranas mention the worship of Lord Vishnu in the form of Pandarinath or Lord Vitthala. Moreover, the famous Vaishnava Saints who lived during the period 13th to 17th Century have popularized the worship of Pandarinath through their poems, kirtans and teachings to the common mass.
