Govinda
Bhanja wanted only one thing for himself .He wanted
to bring Maa to his kingdom. King Purusottam Dev agreed
to this and asked him to ask Maa's permission. Govinda
Bhanja prayed MAA and MAA agreed with one condition.
Maa said she will go with him as long as Govinda Bhanja
doesn't look back to see Maa. With this Condition
Maa went with Govinda Bhanjha to Kendujhar (kheojhar).
From Puri to Khedujhar Maa horse hoof sounds were
audible. On the outskirts of Khedujhar lies river
Baitarini. On the forest of Kheojhar Maa's horse hoofs
was not audible to Govinda Bhanja. He got scared that
Maa stayed behind and he turned to look back to see.
There n then Maa turned into stone. Govinda Bhanjha
prayed Maa for forgiveness but Maa said she has made
the condition with him before coming. And she will
stay in the wild jungle and asked Govinda Bhanjha
to worship in that place. Till today Maa Tarini is
being worshipped in Ghatagaon, Kheojhar. Which is
now a major tourist attraction in Kheojhar (Orissa).
