HIGHLIGHTS
The goddess appeared as Khadasan in Manikarna Valley. Whenever the spirit of the devi entered the goor she asked him to shift to another place. The priest at Bharka village was also possessed by the devi and she told that she wanted to stay there. So the temple was constructed at Bharka village and the devi shifted to her new place. The temples of the devi are at six places so she also known as Shadasni ( One who lives at six places)
