The temple deity is Goddess Durga in her Mahishasura Mardini Avtar (the killer of Demon Mahisha). She is popularly called Sachchidhaya. The idol is that of Durga, eight armed, seated on lion and killing the Demon Mahisha (Buffalo formed demon). Mahishasura had tormented both earth and heaven by his demoniac prowess and excesses.
