History & significance

A Shakta pitha at about 4,200 m in Bajura District, served by priests drawn from both Kalikot and Bajura and reached by pilgrims chiefly at Malika Chaturdashi and Ganga Dussehra.

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 left shoulder of Sati fell on the Mallagiri mountain, and King Dipraj Chhatyal is remembered as having raised a temple to Malika Devi after a vision instructed him to.
