UCHAITHA |
|
|
| It is said that
the late Maharajadhiraja Sir Rameshwar Singh of Darbhanga had expressed his desire to
reinstate the head of' the image. Accordingly, an order was placed and the head was carved
out. Before the installation of the head he had a dream in which the goddess told him, ''I
am the creator and you want to create my head. Do you think it is proper for you to create
my head?"The Maharajadhiraja was upset. The Mahantha of Uchaitha temple had also the
same dream. At last it was decided that the head should not be installed. The priests of
the temple took the head from the Maharajadhiraja and kept it near the image to offer it
the usual offerings. The stone head is still lying in the temple precincts. A few years
ago, the tank was cleaned and a number of images were found. All of them were removed to
the Patna Museum. The site is very old and an excavation may yield good results.
In front of the temple of the goddess Durga there is newly constructed a temple of Lord
Shiva. There is also a small temple of Bhairava in the rear side of the Shiva temple. Just
below these temples flows the river Kamla. |
