History:
Chithra Guptar worshipped Shiva and was appointed as the assistant of Yama. According to his horoscope he had to die at the Age of 12. His father Vasudhata was full of mental agony. Chitra Gupta even at the small age learned the fact and consoled his father. He sincerely worshipped Shiva and when Yama came to catch him Shiva sent Ambaal Parvathi to stop Yama from killing him. Yama said that it was his duty to take him but Goddess Parvathi told him to leave Chitra Gupta as ordered by Shiva. Yama obeyed her order. She instructed him to appoint Chitra Gupta as his assistant and that Chitra Gupta would stay with Yama always. Since Yama always stood for Dharma Goddess Parvathi said that Chita Gupta would be always 12 and he would stay with Yama as an assistant. Therefore Yama would not have the problem of taking the life of Chitra Gupta. There is a Shrine for Chitra Gupta in this temple. It is believed that he worships Shiva and Ambaal in the temple every night.
