The demons ‘Chand” and “Mund” were killed
by Maiya here, hence known as “Chamunda”.
Chamundadevi Mandir is seven hundred years old; build by Meri Maiya
bhakt
(still unknown) from the village, who was asked by Meri Maiya Herself
in his
dream to fetch the idol across Ban Ganga and place it in the temple
over
"Holy Meri Maiya Pindi" and worship HER.
Meri Maiya Mandir is a holy shrine of 'Shiva and Shakti' and is known
as
'Chamunda Nandikeshwar Dham'. Meri Maiya Mandir is a seat of spirituality
since ancient times and is situated on the bank of Ban-Ganga. Meri
Maiya
Mandir is surrounded by natural beauty, peace and bliss and as such
a natural refuge for saints and meditators since time immemorial.
This in only Meri Maiya Mandir where Meri Maiya Puja and Cremation of
Dead body is done at the same place. Here the great Lord 'Ashutosh
Shiv Shankar' in the form of death, destruction and devourer is sitting
with Meri Maiya
Chamundadevi. Ancestoral worship (Shradha Ceremony) is also performed
here.
After taking a dip in Ban Ganga it is auspicious to listen or recite
'Shat Chandi' Path
