The legend behind this temple says that, 100 & more years before when a farmer was ploughing his farm, he find a stone cut in three pieces & suddenly a blood came out. he preserve those three pieces at the same location, construct a small dome & started to worship it. After some years, all the villagers started to come & pray for god. They mount an idol of Shri Jarimari in the form of ‘Durga devi’ with a ‘Gada-a weapon’ in one hand & rid on roaring lion. Those three stones are still mounted in front of diety.
