    Mythology:

    ‘Durga Sapta-Sati‘ chronicles the story of Chamunda Devi temple. Chand and Mund were great demons in Shumbh and Ni-Shumb‘s army. Both saw the goddess sitting on the peak of Himalaya and fall in the attraction. They tried to catch her with all their army. With Goddess’s Amba‘s austerity, Kali Devi emerged out of the goddess and had a great battle with Chand and Mund.

    The place where the great battle happened and Kali Devi killed the demons Chand-Mund is now called as Chamunda Devi Temple of Kangra.
