The Ancient Temple of Pandvas Bhimeshwari Goddess
According to a legend, the idol of the goddess was installed by Bhima, one of the Pandavas. Before Mahabharata battle, Bhima wanted to have blessings of Kuldevi. Yudhishthira and Bhima went to Hinglay Mountain (now in Pakistan) and prayed Kuldevi to move to the battle field and bless them with victory. The Kuldevi accepted the plea with the condition that Bhima will not drop her down on the way from the his lap and if he does so, she will go no further from that place.
While on way Bhima placed the idol of Goddess under the Beri tree and as per the condition, Kuldevi remained there. Unfortunately Bhima had to go to Kurukshetra battle only with blessings of Kuldevi. After 18 days of the war, a marvellous temple was built here.
