Every time, he tried, he courted a failure. Hence selling it to Tularam. Knowing
the stories in circulation many
yogis and god-men visited and realised the power of Kankali Devi. They advised
not to do anything to the temple.
The
archeological Department also tried its hand to unearth the hidden icons by
tilling and digging. They found nothing and so withdrew from the scene. But
recently three idols identified as Kankali, Maha Durga and Simhasardul were
found and they only are now venerated with great devotion. As they are
fulfilling the desires of the votaries, their mahima captured the fancy and
roused devotional instrincts of people living far off.
Prototype of the image of this Kankali Mata are worshipped in many places like
Lucknow, Calcutta and London too.
