When you walk around the Ekamra Kshetra, you will chance upon ancient structures, relics at every turn. These are idols outside the Bhabani Shankar (Parvati-Shiva) temple.
The local legend has it that Goddess Parvati (or Bhabani) was residing in Ekamra Kshetra disguised as a cowherd when the demons Kirti and Basa confronted her. She killed them by crushing them underground, and exhausted by her toils the Goddess fell asleep with Lord Shiva (Shankar) by her feet.
Bhabani Shankar Temple (not in picture) was built to consecrate the spot, and two small identical laterite burial temples located in the precinct (seen in the picture) are said to be of Kirti and Basa.
