HIGHLIGHTS
Once four nagas came from the nether world to the human world and reached at a place called Kuikanda. One of them went to Tarali Jot and played dice with the Kalika devi residing there. He defeated her in the game and got a place to live there. During those days there lived Maan-marechh. The Nag killed them. The devta resides in Tarala but it is said that his real place is Bali. The devta has ten mohras.
