This beautiful temple is dedicated to Goddess Saptashringi (the seven pinnacled goddess), one of the forms of Shakti. The goddess is depicted with 18 hands, each with a weapon, and a destroyer of evil.

Saptashringi Hill (a mountain with seven peaks), where the temple is situated, is full of a variety of trees having medicinal worth. The story in the epic Ramayana says that Lord Hanuman carried the herbal medicine for wounded Lakshman from this hill.
