According to Ancient Stories
This temple is associated with an ancient story. Its related to the Lord Shiva’s Family. Once upon a time Lord Shiva asked his two sons-Kartikey & Ganesha to circle the whole world. Kartikey got the peacock, his vahana and flew around the world. Ganesha came up with a solution and walked around his parents, Shiva & Parvati with great devotion because according to him, his parents were his whole world.
By the time Kartikey came back home, Ganesha was married which made kartikey mad & then he decided that he will never marry throughout his life. The moment Maa Parvati came to know about kartikey’s decision she got angry and cursed that any couple who will visit this temple together, they will separate in future for sure. This is the only reason couples don’t visit this place together..
It is also believed that whosoever visits this temple with devotion and follow rituals, Maa Bhagvati fulfill their wishes & desires.
