Mahisasura (buffalo demon) mardini (divine mother as destroyer). This is the name of divine mother who destroys ego (our ego is like a buffalo demon) and she increases samarpan (surrenderness) in us.
In this temple apart from Mahisasura mardini, there is Lord Kartikeya. He is deva senapati (the general of the army of devas). He channelizes the energy of nature (Devas maintain nature). Similarly, he channelises energy of the devotees. There are idols of graha (planets) in temple to remove graha dosha (the planatery flaws in the astrological chart of a person). Some saint has done sadhana (spiritual practice) in this temple. It is a prachin (ancient) mandir. Instant blessing is received in this temple. However, the brahmins (priests) in the temple are more into rituals. (In north India, rituals were misused by brahmins so kshatriya race became in prime. In south India rituals still persist). It will be annihilated by saints e.g. Ramana Maharshi did not follow any rituals but still in his ashram you will find peace and discipline.
In Juna Deesa, MA (divine mother) is in form of mahisasura mardini but she represents Bhakti Swaroop.
