Acharya Rajneesh told that here every wish made with a true heart is fulfilled by the Mother Goddess.
He told that before independence, there was a Sinha family in Peerod, Srinagar. Their chief Uziaridin worked for the British. The British government was pleased with the work of Uziaridin and gave him this land as a gift. On this land he built a temple of Maa Shitala Devi.
