Legend has it that Kanya Devi, an avatar of Goddess Parvati, was to wed Lord Shiva, the destroyer in the Hindu trinity. But he did not turn up at the auspicious time, and the wedding never occurred. The rice and cereals meant for the marriage remained uncooked. Even today, one can buy stones there that look exactly like rice and grains. Local folks believe that they are the leftovers of the legendary marriage that could not be solemnised. As for Princess Kanya Devi, she became a virgin goddess, blessing pilgrims and tourists alike.
