Religious Significance

This ancient temple was built as the popular opinion goes 2000 years ago in Vikram Samvat 103 by Kamal Nath who was a great devotee of Goddess Durga. His unflinching devotion to the Goddess propitiated the Goddess and she appeared before him. This idol of Beejasan Mata (Mother Goddess Durga) seated on the demon Rakta Beeja. In Markendeya Puran the great exploits of Goddess Durga are narrated which are now known as Shri Durga Shaptasati. In the eighth chapter of Shri Durga Shaptasati, we read the Chivalrous shape of Durga when she waged her fierce battle against the demon Rakta Beeja. This demon had been blessed with an extraordinary kind of boon. Every drop of his blood falling from his body on earth would turn into a Rakta Beeja of the equal power and equal prowess. The result was that there were millions of Rakta Beeja demons. Finally, the Goddess decided not to let the blood of these demons fall on earth. She therefore with burning torches either burnt the wounds or collected the falling blood in a bowl and drank it up. The goddess also took as many forms as the demon Rakta Beeja had. Thus, the Goddess quelled and killed the demon Rakta Beeja and hence this name Beejasan was given to her.

History

The temple was built by Maharaja Shivajirao Holkar of Indore in 1760.
