The
sacrosanct ancient mandir is considered to be the original
seat of Varasiddhi Devi whose representation is receiving unprecedented worship
in Ujjain, the capital of the legendary Bhoja, who patronised Navaratnas among
whom the greatest dramatist Kalidasa was ranked one, and the best at it. Her
Ujjaain reproduction bears striking resemblance to her and perched at high
place, rather more covetable place due to royal patronage. Deep probe reveals
that her Sri Chakra installed in the garbha griha with the image of Annapurna
behind is instrumental for the immortal here. There are many adorable deities
enshrined in the well-built minishrines. Due to its location in the busiest
business locality neither vastness not majesty appears in any part of
architecture It has only few cells installed with deities. Yet its importance is
on the increase with the passage of time Will Lakshmi ever lose her lusture and
predominance?
