This temple was built around 250 years ago. Legend has it that from the eastern Indian state of West Bengal,
Goddess Tara Devi was brought to
Himachal Pradesh. The then king of the Sen dynasty visited Himachal Pradesh. He had a habit of carrying his family idol in his arm. One fine day, Raja Bhupendra Sen while hunting, fell asleep and in his dream he saw his family deity requesting him to unveil her before the common population. Because of this dream, the Raja donated 50 bighas of land and sponsored the construction of a temple in that land.
