Khas of Khadogi return his home along with this statue and put this statue near cooking fire in the kitchen. Finally the statue gets reached at the house of a Muane in the nearby village of Matla. The daughter of the Muane started worship and praying of this statue. The statue from there through many villages reached in the temple of Devtadess Ambika in Nirmand. The devi advised her to move to village Sunair. The villagers built a temple there. Being it the place of one of the seven Bharadis (sister) she did not opt to stay there.
