People use to call it&rdquo; Maa-er Baari&rdquo;, this temple consists of &lsquo;Nat Mandir&rsquo;, &lsquo;Bhog Ghar&rsquo;, &lsquo;Bhander Ghar&rsquo; etc. No idol of Devi Jogadya or not even a picture of Devi had been set up here.&rdquo; Kalapahar&rdquo; Trayed to damage the Temple.

If we go through Roygunakar Bharat Chandra&rsquo;s &ldquo;Ananda Mangal&rdquo; (Chapter 47) we came to know that Kshirgram is counted amongst the 51 Sati piths. According to legend, the right toe of Goddess Sati had been dropped here in the time of Dakshya&nbsp;Joggya. The goddess is named Jogadya. The specialty of this specific Sati pith is that the name of Kshirgram is mentioned in all of the Tantras, i.e 1) Kujjika tantra,2) Brihanil Tantra, 3) Gandharbha Tantra, 4)Tantrasaar, 5)Tantrachuramani, 6)Annada Mangal,7) Mahapith Nirapanam,8)Shiva Charitha. By the method, Kamrup, Nepal, Prayag, &amp; Kshirgram (Kshirika) these 4 shakti piths are mentioned in each of the above Tantras.

For all of these, Kshirgram is well-known for another reason. According to Ramayana, Mahi Ravan had kidnapped both Lord Shri Ram &amp; Lakshman and kept them in Patal. In Fact, Mahi Ravan was a devotee of Goddess Bhadrakali. Lord Hanuman Went to Patal and escaped from there together with Lord Ram and Lakshman by killing Mahi Ravan, during that time Lord Hanuman also took the idol of Devi Bhadrakali and established the idol in Kshirgram. Later On, Devi Bhadrakali had been renamed Jogadya.

The chief legend of ma Jogadya relates to the creation of the Shakti Peethas. Sati, the daughter of Prajapati Daksha, was married to the god Shiva versus his wishes. Daksha arranged a great yajna but did not invite Sati and also Shiva. Uninvited, Sati reached the yajna-site, where Daksha ignored Sati as well as Shiva.

Sati was not able to withstand this insult. So, Devi Sati gave her life by jumping into the fire of Havan organized by her father King Daksh. When Lord Shiva was running around the planet carrying her body that Lord Vishnu divided the body into 51 parts utilizing his Sudarshan chakra. Out of those 51 parts, from which the &lsquo;Right Toe&rsquo; of Sati fell to this place.
