Maa Shakti was established by Lankapati Ravan in the
Maa Mansa Devi Mandir. This village was founded by Ravan. That is why the name of this village is Ravan alias Badagaon. As because Ravan set up this village, the effigy of Ravan is not burnt on Dussehra here. Historians also believe that Mahabharata and Ramayana period are closely related to Badagaon.

According to the pujari Shri Ram Shankar Tiwari ji, due to this Shakti Siddha Peeth, mata definitely fulfills the desires sought here with true mind and selfless spirit. Special poojas are performed on Navratri in the Siddha Peeth.
The Dashavatara idol of Bhagwan Vishnu is installed in the Siddha Peetha temple. Historian KK Sharma says that the idol here is of the seventh century. Apart from this, the temple has ancient pillars, on which the idols looks like Ajanta Alora. The temple holds great importance in terms of archeology as well.
History of The Temple:
It is believed that Ravan was returning from the Himalayas after doing tapasya. He was accompanied by Mata Shakti. This Devi Shakti was blessed with austerity and got her boon. While granting the boon, the condition was that Ravan would not keep the power of the mata in the middle. If they put the power somewhere in the middle, then this power will be established at that place.
When Ravan came to this place, he needs use bathroom, so he caught a villager going from there and handover Mata Shakti. As soon as the Mata Shakti went into the handover of the villagers, she was established at the same place. Ravan made a lot of efforts to carry Mata Shakti from there, but could not succeed. Later, the temple of Mata Manasha Devi was established at this place.
