c9.99

In the time of Aurangzeb, or in the fifteenth century as some say, the temple was despoiled by a Musalmān officer. The avenging of the death of this soldier is the basis of the legend explaining the practice of spilling the blood of suckling pigs on the grave of a Musalmān, near the site of the temple of Devī Pātan. It is said that two temple guards, Sumer Dhar and Mūl Cand, brought the despoiler to his death.
