Sthala katha — the traditional account

What follows is the temple’s own traditional account, transmitted through liturgy and local memory. It is recorded here as tradition, not as attested history.

The name is explained by a girl who came searching for water and found a spring here, from the local words aan, thirst, and dhi, water.
