And it is about 484 km from Lucknow, the capital of Uttar Pradesh. The living history of the Mahabharata period is still present inside this temple. The history of this temple is miraculous.
Drona city, which has been inhabited for centuries, was initially known as Dronkaur. But the changing environment also changed the name of this city, currently this city is known by the name Dankaur instead of Dronkaur. This temple has had special importance in the Puranas and religious texts since the Dwapar era. This city was also named after Guru Dronacharya.
