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.

After crowning Parikshit, the five Pandavas are said to have each raised a shrine on their last pilgrimage; Sahadeva installed the image worshipped here.
