The Temple is ancient and has a lot of spiritual legends attached to it. Around four centuries ago, a king and a priest sought Permission From The Divine Mother To relocate The Temple to a more favorable location. In Response, The Divine Mother Appeared In the priestโs dreams, Instructing him To excavate a specific area of land. To their astonishment, the priest discovered An Ancient Idol Of Maa Chamunda Devi At that very spot.
Intriguingly however, when The Idol Was found and the king ordered laborers to remove The Idol, all their efforts proved futile. Later, The Divine Mother Reappeared In the priestโs dreams, And Mentioned That the laborers were unable To remove The Idol because they regarded The Idol As ordinary when It Actually Held Great Significance. The Divine Mother Instructed the priest To rise early in the morning, purify himself through a bath, don sacred attire, and pay Due Reverence To The Idol. Only then, the priest was told, would he be able to relocate The Idol, a feat that had eluded all others. The following day, the priest shared this remarkable story with everyone, attributing the events To The Divine Motherโs Benevolence And Power, and finally gained success in removing The Idol.
