Behind this lies a huge image of
Nagendra-spreading his out
spread hood over Durga in sitting posture. To the right of the main
shrine there lies a margosa tree held in high esteem; for, it
fulfils the desires of those whose marriages are unduly delayed and
blesses children to the barren women.
The last object of adoration
is located in a small shrine right across the Road and just opposite
the main temple. It is here installed the image of Adarvana
Bhadrakali and worshipped to be relieved of the evil effect of
sunyarn, sorcery etc. Only these few account for the ever growing
popularity of this shrine. More than these adorable deities, its
traditions deserve special study. Of the many at least six merit
elaboration.
