Dadhimati is said to be the sister of the [[Rishi]] (sage) [[Dadhichi]]. The legend says she was born on magh (Indian month) shukl 7 (rath saptami) due to the churning of the sky. Dadhimati killed Detya Vikatasur on magh shukl 8 (jaya ashtami) in Dadhi Sagar. Dadhimati is the [[Avatar]] of the goddess Laxmi. The temple has the oldest depictions of 'Devi mahamatya', which are even older than the [[Mahalaxmi]] temple of Kolhapur, [[Maharashtra]]. It has a depiction of Valimiki ramyana in interiors.{{cn|date=July 2020}}<br />
