Shivaji Maharaj, the founder of the Maratha kingdom, has always visited this temple to seek his blessings. The legend has to be credited with saying that the Goddess had given him a sword called 'Bhavani Kadga' by which Shivaji had been successful in his expeditions. The history of the temple dates back to the days of 'Skanda Purana,' as mentioned in the Holy Scripture. According to the epic story, there was a sage "Kardam" and his consort "Anubhuthi" with an infant in this area. After his death, his wife "Anubhuthi" performed penance for the goddess Parvati in the name of Bhavani on the banks of the river "Mandakini" to look after her child. There was a demon (Rakshasa) named "Kukur" who tortured her.
