Story of Diggi Kalyanpura

The Temple has a very interesting story behind its existence. A wonderful Apsara named Urvashi was dancing in the court of Lord Indra in the Swarga Lok for the appeasement of the Devta. Accidentally she laughed during the performance and this made Lord Indra upset. Upon which he expelled the dancer from Swarga Lok for 12 years and as a result, she came to the Mrityu Lok earth. She started spending her time in devotion of the sages.

It was during one such day that King Digwa saw her in a forest and instantly he got attracted to her divine beauty. He decided to propose to her but Urvashi declined the offer narrating the story of her being an Apsara in Lord Indra’s count and the unfortunate incident when she was expelled from the court.

When after the completion of the punishment, Lord Indra came to bring Urvashi back King Digwa challenged him. King Digwa himself was a strong warrior. The war went on and no one was able to win. Then Lord Indra cunningly cheated and defeated the King. Apsara Urvashi cursed King Digwa with leprosy.

Later King Digwa devoted his life in the penance for Lord Vishnu in the Shree Kalyan Region. Vishu Bhagwan was pleased with the penance and said to the king that he will find a statue of Lord Vishnu near the river. The King started the journey and his chariot stopped at the same place where he fought the Indra Dev.

King Digwa established the temple at the same spot after the ceremonies. Today, this place is famous as the Diggi Kalyan Temple.
