Legend has it that Lord Rama, Sitamata and brother Laxman lived in exile in the vicinity of the city while in exile. It is enlightened by the temple of Chandrasen Maharaj at Vasantgad. While doing penance in the forest on the fort, Chandrasena's sword weapon was mistakenly spotted by Chandrasena and both his hands were broken from the corner. Lakshmana and Rama gave Chandrasen the upper hand that you will be worshipped as a family deity. According to this, Chandrasen Maharaj is still worshipped with the same devotion as the deity of some villages around the fort. The legend is further corroborated by the fact that both the arms of the ancient idol behind the mask of the present idol in the temple are broken and can still be seen today. Many Marathas consider Chandrasena as their family deity. The idol of Chandrasena is from the Ramayana period. It is customary to marry Jogeshwari Mata and Chandrasen Maharaj. Therefore, the idol of Chandrasen Maharaj in the temple does not have a hand. To his right is the idol of Mother Jogeshwari, and to his left is the idol of Janaidevi. Some people believe that this Janaidevi Chandrasen is the sister of God. If you worship or worship Goddess Chandrasen, all sorrows and obstacles are removed.
