Chaitra Navratri: Devotees Flock to Bis Bhuja Devi Dham, Karna's Penance Site
•Thousands of devotees thronged the Maa Bis Bhuja Devi Temple in Guna on the first day of Chaitra Navratri, with continuous streams from 4 AM.
•The temple is a 5500-year-old site where Danveer Karna performed rigorous penance for 9 years to atone for his sins, leading to Mother Bhagwati's appearance.
•A unique miracle of the temple is the Goddess changing forms three times a day: childhood in the morning, youth at noon, and old age in the evening.
•Devotees, including childless women and those seeking prosperity, visit the temple, believing the Mother never sends anyone back empty-handed.
•Farmers offer a portion of their harvest, and the temple was once the presiding deity of Bajrang Garh; security was heightened for Navratri crowds.
