Kuteti Devi- Uttarkashi- The Unknown story of Maharaja

4:13:00 AM

Located on another bank, further away from town, this temple was constructed on a very old site, but appears to be new. Its priest, the latest from a family of priest spanning 14 generation tells an interesting story.



The Maharaja of Kota, Rajasthan lost a bag of money while on a pilgrimage to Gangotri. Thus unable to meet the required expenses, he returned to Uttarkashi where he prayed for deliverance for his trouble at Vishvanath temple, promising to marry of his only daughter to any suitable boy of his age, should his bag be found.

The bag was founded by the priest inside the temple, and with all the money intact. The delighted Maharaja requested the priest to arrange a suitable match for his daughter in due course, the Rajkumari was married to a boy chosen by the priest of the Vishvanath temple but she was very unhappy because marriage will take her away from her family Deity Kuteti Devi whom she had always worshiped. So husband and wife together prayed to the goddess to help them. Kuteti Devi appeared in their dreams and informed them that she would be present in their fields in shape of a stone. The Rajkumari and her husband discovered three stones with heavenly aroma, and the Kuteti Devi temple was directed on that exact spot where these stones were found.
