History
The temple was built in c. 12th century CE. Another Tulja Bhavani temple was built during 1537-1540 CE in Chittorgarh.
The legend states that the face of Goddess Sathi fell here when Vishnu cut her body with the sudarshana chakra while Shiva carried her burnt body across India in grief. That is why, for darshan the alankar is done such that only the face of Tulja Bhavani is visible.
Chatrapati Shivaji was a devotee of Tulja Bhavani. It is widely believed that goddess had bestowed him with a sword. It is popularly known as Bhavani Talwar and is located now in London museum.
