Location Details

The original name of Mohandari was Shidka but derived from its base village Mohandar, it is now known as Mohandari. There is no reference of Mohandari on the pages of history. It is completely aloof from the battles or events that happened in the past. It is an old belief that centuries ago, there were devils staying in this region, which used to spread terror amongst the people staying here. Then to destroy them, Goddess Saptashrungi appeared here. In the war between the devil and the Goddess, the Devil was about to lose. At that time he started running away from the Goddess to escape from his death. The goddess then followed him and on the way, the rock of Mohandari came in the way and the goddess kicked it. And so is the shape of Mohandari such with a throughout puncture in the rock.
