Several thousand devotees arrive every day in Navratri

The idol of Sharda, the mother of Maihar, came out automatically in the tenth century. The scriptures tell that when Lord Shankar was taking Mother Sati by air in half-burnt condition. Then the necklace of the mother's neck had fallen in the top of this Trikuta mountain of Maihar. For this reason this place is considered as Shaktipeeth. Due to the fall of mother's necklace, the name of the town was read as 'My Haar' and gradually the name of the town became Maihar in colloquial language. Many lakhs of devotees come here every day during Navratri. It is a popular belief that the mother fulfills the wishes of all her devotees.
