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.

Tradition holds that Rani Sati was a rebirth of Narayani Devi, who avenged her husband Tandhan's killing by a king before immolating herself on his pyre.
