According to belief, it is at this site that the lower lip (adhara or “hansi”) of Goddess Sati fell. The presiding deity is worshipped as Phullara Devi, and Bhairava (Shiva’s form) here is called Vishwesh or Vishweshwar.
The name “Attahas” literally means “loud laughter,” and the place is charged with divine feminine energy, symbolizing the joyful and fierce aspects of Devi.
