Description
It is believed that the temple existed from Dvapara Yuga (before the Mahabharat war) and was founded by Lord Krishna in the presence of Pandavas during the Agyatvaas time of the Pandavas. Earlier it was in the jungle of Adrvan (now known as Adrawna Village). It is connected by road and rail. It is fifty kilometers from Maharajganj, the district headquarters, and 12 ilometers from Pharend tehsil (also known as Anand Nagar). It is fifty kilometers from Gorakhpur on the Gorakhpur-Gonda rail route.
Every year in the Chaitra (month) of Navratri (April) a fifteen-day celebration is held, which runs from the first day of Navratr to the day of poornima (poranmasi). The festival attracts a lot of devotees.

Famous quotes containing the word description:
“Everything to which we concede existence is a posit from the standpoint of a description of the theory-building process, and simultaneously real from the standpoint of the theory that is being built. Nor let us look down on the standpoint of the theory as make-believe; for we can never do better than occupy the standpoint of some theory or other, the best we can muster at the time.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
“To give an accurate description of what has never occurred is not merely the proper occupation of the historian, but the inalienable privilege of any man of parts and culture.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“Once a child has demonstrated his capacity for independent functioning in any area, his lapses into dependent behavior, even though temporary, make the mother feel that she is being taken advantage of....What only yesterday was a description of the child’s stage in life has become an indictment, a judgment.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
