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 shrine is said to stand where the goddess appeared for a moment before an aged devotee named Palsule Desai and vanished, leaving her footprints inside the mandir; she is also remembered for destroying the demon Vratsaru.
