![]() According to legends, the goddess had guided the king in his dreams to establish a temple in the present day temple complex. The king set out on his journey to bring the Goddess, as was directed, along with a huge procession, in a 'palki' (palanquin). The procession reached its objective and placed the palanquin on the ground to fetch the idol of the goddess. But just as they had started lifting the palanquin, they were unable to do so, because the weight increased by manifolds. Consequently, the procession, along with the king had to stay back in the said place. At night, the king dreamt once again that the Goddess was instructing him not to place the palanquin on ground, once it has been lifted. Hence a conclusion was reached that the temple should be established in the very place itself , the result of which is the present-day Jhanyari Devi Temple. |
