Shri Kalyan Temple, Diggi

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.

King Digva, struck with leprosy, is said to have recovered his health after recovering an image of Vishnu from the sea and installing it at Diggi, and the god was thereafter called Kalyanji, the benevolent one.
