Legend
Around
400 years ago, a King and a Brahmin priest prayed to Chamunda Devi asking her
consent to shift the image to an accessible location. Chamunda Devi appeared in
a dream to the priest granting him the permission. She asked him to dig a
certain area and subsequently, they will find an ancient idol. They can brought
the idol in the temple and worship her. The priest told about the dream to the
King and sent his men to bring the idol. The men got the idol, but they could
not lift it.
Again,
the Goddess appeared and asked the priest that the men could not lift the idol
because they took it as an ordinary stone. She told the priest to get up early
in the morning and take a bath. After wearing fresh clothes, he should go to
the place in a devoted manner. The priest did the same what was told to him. He
found that he could lift the idol easily. He placed the idol in its present
location and from that time, the Goddess is worshipped by people.
