Religious Significance

According to the legends, King Nanda Chakravarthy used to visit Kasi every day at 4 O'clock in the morning and return back before dawn using a Mantra Shakti. The King told where he was going everyday in detail to his wife as she insisted on knowing about his absence in the morning. Next day,the King took his wife along with him to visit Kasi. The queen was having her monthly and the Mantra Shakti lost its power due to that. The Brahmins helped the King and Queen and in return the King promised to give the Brahmins land whenever they approach him. Some years later, when Kasi was hit by famine the Brahmins came to meet the King Nanda Chakravarthy to give them the land as promised. However, the King forgot the promised and abuse the Brahmins. The Brahmins prayed to Goddess Sri Chamundeswari Mata to come down to Nandavaram as the lonely witness for the king's promise. Pleased with the prayers of Brahmins, the Goddess appeared before them. The King realized his mistake and apologized to Goddess and the Brahmins. King Nanda Chakravarthy gave land to the Brahmins as promised and built a temple for Goddess Sri Chamundeswari Mata.
