I thought Renuka Yellamma is worshipped in North Karnataka and Maharashtra only. Since I saw many Marathi ppl visit Savadatti Yellamma temple. Curiosity kicked in. Was going through previous threads and learnt that Yellamma is worshipped even in Telangana and TN(ig?). But in Maharashtra, there's two different goddess... Renuka and Yellamma. But in Savadatti it's worshipped as one. Also Yellamma in Savadatti has moustache. My mother said, she's the protector of transgender. So maybe that's why?

So like what's the story(legend). I am unable to connect the dots.

If anyone have knowledge in this. Pls do share.
