MAHISHI - UGRATARA MANDIR

Many parivaradevathas and a big tank came up one after another when the mother miracles emancipated thousands of ardent devotees. Then came the bang of earthquake that swallowed all.

Later Maharajadhiraj Parameswar Singh of Dharbhanga, a great devotee and a regular visitor endowed it from time to time several items for its progress. Once a pundit who accompanied him remarked that these deities were only the dancers in the court of Mother Tripurasundari. He regretted later, knowing tile glory of this Ugrasthan and settled down here doing meditation and attending to temple activities.The Maharaja, out of extreme devotion for tile Mother decided to raise the glory of this Ugrasthan with several additions, among them making yantra of the Devi topped the list. Unfortunately the workers became blind during the process and tile king too was affected by a terrible disease. Hence there was abrupt ending of all the expansion work. This did not deter the visitation of devotees, nor granting of boons by the Mother. Ironically, the steady stream of visitors mounted higher and higher day by day as their desires were getting fulfilled to their expectation. Another factor that contributed to its rapid growth was, this place was situated in the land of one Jagadisnandan, whose father wad great devotee. And he did his mite for steady rise in the development of the temple. Above all, it is very near to two other famous temples like Sri Chandi Devi lying 25 km. off this place and Katyani Mata, at a distance of 20 km off. So this Sakti-Peetha's fame is spreading undetetrred and unblemished.

it lies 8 km. off Saharsa railway junction in tile Bhagalpur district of Bihar state, accessible by road and rail.
