At 1905-1906 Sri Aurobindo with Lele and Deshpande visited the Mahakali Mandir of Karanali, that is situated on the northern bank of the Narmada near the famous temple of Kubereshwar. One has to climb about 100 steep steps to reach the temple after about a mile's boating in Narmada from Chandod. When Sri Aurobindo looked at the Kali stone figure, he saw "a living Presence, deathless and divine" (Sri Aurobindo. "The Stone Goddess" // Collected Poems, p.139)
