The legend has Lord Chandra married to 27 daughters
of Dakshaprajapati with a promise to keep all the daughters equally contented
and peaceful. Unfortunately, Lord Chandra could not keep up
his promise to Dakshaprajapati. He found
immense pleasure in the company of one of his wives Revathi and disregarded
rest of them. Hence, it created an extreme
unhappiness and grief amongst them.
Dakshaprajapati came to know about the reason for his daughters sorrow
and cursed Lord Chandra. Due to the
curse of Dakshaprajapati, Lord Chandra started to diminish his brightness
afflicted with the illness of ‘Kshaya’ (shrink).
Lord Chandra prayed to Lord Vishnu for the
liberation from the curse. Lord Chandra arrived
on this sacred land at the divine instruction of Lord Vishnu. He had a holy dip on the pond situated here
and underwent severe austerities praying to Lord. The most compassionate Lord was pleased at
the devotion of Lord Chandra. Lord Sriman
Narayana with his consort appeared before him and blessed Lord Chandra with the
liberation from the curse. Hence, the
deity has got its name Chandra Sapa Harar.
Another legend has that Lord Chandra who was the
son of Rishi Atri and Thara was learning under the guidance of Deva Guru Brihaspati. Lord Chandra cast an evil eye on Guru
Patni. It made Guru Brihaspati cursed
him to shrink his beauty and brightness.
