The Goddess Bhadrakali is worshipped to gain purity and liberation from the cycle of birth and death, it is also believed that she protects her devotees from any unforeseen calamities and premature deaths. According to a legend, a long time ago, a farmer saw a girl weeping in the field, he thought the girl was hungry and decided to give her a piece of bread then the girl turned the bread into gold. He was very shocked and amused to see such a supernatural act by his bare eyes. As soon as the people came to know about the story of the farmer, the place was established as the temple of Bhadrakali.
