The legend has that Vidhyadhara and his wife
arrived on this land and got attracted at the tranquility of this sacred
land. They were so absorbed at each
other and indulged in their pastimes. At this moment, Lord Kubera arrived on this
place and found the couple were so wrapped up each other’s and forgot to pay
obeisance to him. Lord Kubera cursed the
couple to turn into lifeless materials such as scale and bow. The couple repented at their mistake and begged
for forgiveness. Lord Kubera calmed them
saying that they would be released from the curse at the touch of a holy
man. Years later, Sage Athreya Suprapa
visited this holy land to establish a Yagna arena. There he found a scale and bow; he touched
them with his hands. Soon they turned
into a man and woman. Thus, Vidhyadhara
and his wife regained their original form.
This temple remains open from 6.30AM to 11.00PM in the morning and 4.30 PM to 7.00PM in the evenings.
