The temple finds its mention in the Ramayana. It is believed
that Bharata, younger brother of Sri Ram, stayed here for a day and worshipped
Ma Belha Devi.
The current temple structure was built around 200 years ago.
The main murti of Belha Devi worshipped in the temple is
made of stone and is placed over silver throne. The murti is decorated with
marigold and hibiscus flowers. Chunari is wrapped all around her. A silver
canopy can be seen above the murti. Her Vahana or Vehicle lion is seated near
her.
The pindi, the original form, of Belha Devi can be seen in
the same sanctum sanctorum.
The temple compound also has murtis of Hanuman, Shiva, Radha
Krishna, Goddess Durga and Goddess Kali.
Mondays and Tuesdays are the most important days in the
shrine. On these days roti and puri are offered as Prasad.
A ten day fair and festival is organized during Navratri.
