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.

In 1840 a cowherd named Bholaram is said to have dreamt of three divine images buried at Bagund village; the three that were unearthed were enshrined at three nearby sites, of which Mandphiya became the principal shrine.
