Legend says that one day Pandavas saw Goddess Durga in their dream in which she told them that she is situated in the Nagarkot village and if they want themselves to be secure they should make a temple for her in that area otherwise they will be destroyed.</p> <p>That same night they made a magnificent temple for her in the Nagarkot village. In 1905 the temple was destroyed by a powerful earthquake and was subsequently rebuilt by the government.</p> <p>Temple structure<br /> The main gate entrance has a Nagarkhana or drum house and is built similar to the Bassein fort entrance.
