Murari Devi Temple History
The history of the Murari Devi is associated with the killing of the demon Moor. The demon Moor had obtained a boon from Brahma by doing penance.
According to beliefs, in ancient times, after doing a severe penance to the demon Moor on earth, God Brahma granted him a boon that no god, human, or animal will kill you, but will be Kill by the hands of a girl.
The arrogant Moor, thinking himself to be immortal, started torturing the universe. Plagued by the atrocities of the demon Moor, all the creatures came to Lord Vishnu to seek help, on which a war between the Moor and Lord Vishnu continued which lasted for a long time. Lord Vishnu went to lie down in a cave on the Sikandra Dhar hill in the Himalayas after remembering the boon given to the Moor monster. Moore reached there looking for them and thought of striking him with a weapon while God was in his sleep.
