Legend / Local stories

The Devotees throng this temple to appease the goddess for the fulfillment of their desires. On fulfillment of their wish, the Goddess is offered with the blood of a goat which is poured into a small hole (kund) of 6 inch in diameter. It is said that the kund would not get filled up even if thousands of goat’s blood is poured into it, in which blood goat in honour of devi is given, a fact is that it never overflows.
