More Information about Simsa Ma Temple

 


Simsa Ma temple is located at Simas village near Mandi district in Himachal Pradesh.The temple is dedicated to Goddessh Simsa.The temple is also known as Santan Datri and Ma Sharda.Faith is best exemplified at the altar of Maa Simsa Devi, where childless women come with prayers on their lips and hope in their heart.During the ‘Navratri festival' it is a heart-rending sight to see women sleeping on the floor of the temple, for the blessings of Maa Simsa to have a child! The ancestors say that if a woman comes with a pure heart to the temple of Maa Simsa and sleeps day and night in the temple, give up from food and feasts, then she has a dream—dream about either fruits that indicates the blessing of a child. Strange but true if one hears countless accounts of women bestowed with kids after this experience. 


It is not that every woman is bestowed with a child but there are some cases where women don’t dream of fruits etc. In such cases the woman has to leave the temple. It is said that if a woman doesn’t leave the temple in spite of having a dream where her remaining childless is hinted at, she develops red patches on her body that itch a lot and the poor woman has to leave the bed.The temple is full of devotees some coming to seek boons and some others to pay their gratitude. The faith of the people, thronging the temple from far and wide, speaks a lot about the power of the unknown that still make us wonder struck at the wonders of the nature.

Badol Devi Temple is located on a hill at village Badol in Bilaspur District of Himachal Pradesh, at a distance of 3 km from Gehrwin on the Gehrwin – Dhanathar road. The temple is devoted to Goddess Durga, widely known here as Badol Devi, the symbol of Mother Shakti.
There is a very interesting legend attached to this temple. It is said that one day, an old villager named Bhura noticed that his cow had shed her milk on a particular place. Astonished by this unusual phenomenon, he tries to stop her from going there again. However, somehow she managed to reach the same place everyday and shed her milk. Bhura thought that someone had captivated his cow and fearing the worst, he decided to axe her.

The moment he hit the cow, he noticed that in place of blood, milk was oozing out from her wounds. She ran away and Bhura tried to follow her and in the process, lost his eyesight. He could not find the cow and by the time he came back to his home, he noticed that his eyesight had been restored.

When Bhura narrated this unusual incident to the villagers, they decided to dig the place where the cow had shed her milk. On digging, they found a 'pindi' of Goddess Durga lying here.

The King of Bilaspur had two wives and each of them built a temple at the place where the idol was found. This led to an argument as to which temple would enshrine the pindi of the Goddess. It is said that the younger wife had built the temple out of faith, while the elder one out of envy. One night, the pindi got automatically installed in the younger queen's temple and could not be removed from there. The pindi, along with the temple, was known as Goddess Badol Devi, one of the forms of Mother Shakti or Goddess Durga.
