According to tradition, Lord Shiva began Tandava Nirtya while carrying Satiâ€™s burned body, and wherever a piece of Satiâ€™s limb fell, a Shakti temple eventually sprung up. The thigh of Sati Uma is reported to have fallen here during the process. With intense devotion, a symbolic stone impression is being worshipped. When thousands of believers travel great distances on Tuesday and Saturday, it is believed to be a lucky day. The shrine exudes a sense of divine sublimity that serves to calm visitors and strengthen their faith.

Basantrai : Anybody who dared to do so would end up encircled at his feet and dragged to a watery death. It is also said that when marriages or other social ceremonies took place, the tank was invited, and anyone asking for the utensils they needed for the event would miraculously find them in the water of the tank. These materials had a purpose, thus they had to return to the tank or else they would suffer tragedy or misfortune. Hindus continue to hold this idea in high regard and still rely on it.
