Mythological Significance & History

The temple’s history is intertwined with the legends of Shakti Peethas.
According to mythology, when Goddess Sati’s body was dismembered during Lord Shiva’s grief-stricken Tandava, her heart is believed to have fallen at Deoghar, sanctifying the land as a Shakti Peetha.
The Jayadurga shrine is said to have been built to honor this divine occurrence and to protect the sacred Baidyanath Jyotirlinga premises.
Local traditions suggest that kings and devotees over centuries contributed to its expansion and ornamentation.

Maa Jayadurga represents Shakti in her victorious form after slaying the buffalo demon Mahishasura.
Worship here is considered especially auspicious during Navratri and Durga Puja.
Devotees believe offering prayers here along with the Baidyanath Jyotirlinga grants both Moksha (liberation) and material blessings

Built in traditional Nagara style with a towering shikhara adorned with intricate carvings of gods, goddesses, and floral motifs.

The sanctum (Garbhagriha) houses the idol of Maa Jayadurga, depicted with eight or ten arms holding various weapons.
