Hi @Sanjay Chauhan ,

Welcome to Q&A Forum!

You can run the following PowerShell script to get which sites in your web application use a specific webpart.

Note: In my test, I want to find all "Get started with your site" web part in SharePoint 2013

Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue  
   
#Configuration parameters  
$SiteURL = "http://sp"  
$ReportOutput="C:\temp\Webparts-in-use.csv"  
   
$ResultCollection = @()  
  
#Get All Site Collections in the web application  
$Sites = Get-SPWebApplication $WebAppURL | Get-SPSite  
  
#Iterate through each Site collection  
ForEach($Site in $Sites)  
{  
    ForEach($Web in $Site.AllWebs)  
    {  
        write-host Processing $Web.URL  
        #If the Current Web is Publishing Web  
        if ([Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.PublishingWeb]::IsPublishingWeb($Web))  
        {  
            #Get the Publishing Web  
            $PubWeb = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.PublishingWeb]::GetPublishingWeb($Web)  
                     
            #Get the Pages Library  
            $PagesLib = $PubWeb.PagesList  
         }  
         else  
         {  
            $PagesLib = $Web.Lists["Site Pages"]  
         }              
            #Iterate through all Pages   
            foreach ($Page in $PagesLib.Items | Where-Object {$_.Name -match ".aspx"})  
            {  
                $PageURL=$web.site.Url+"/"+$Page.File.URL  
                $WebPartManager = $Page.File.GetLimitedWebPartManager([System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.PersonalizationScope]::Shared)  
                   
                #Get All Web Parts data  
                ForEach ($WebPart in $WebPartManager.WebParts | Where-Object { $_.GetType().ToString() -like "*started*"} )  
                {  
                    $Result = New-Object PSObject  
                    $Result | Add-Member -type NoteProperty -name "Site URL" -value $web.Url  
                    $Result | Add-Member -type NoteProperty -name "Page URL" -value $PageURL  
                    $Result | Add-Member -type NoteProperty -name "Web Part Title" -value $WebPart.Title  
                    $Result | Add-Member -type NoteProperty -name "Web Part Type" -value $WebPart.GetType().ToString()  
   
                    $ResultCollection += $Result  
                }  
            }  
    }    
}  
  
#Export results to CSV  
$ResultCollection | Export-csv $ReportOutput -notypeinformation  

Can you tell if the feature you are talking about refers to Site Collection features or Site features? More information, see "List of Site Collection Features on SharePoint 2013 and Office 365" article.
