The walls of the temple are carved with the images of Durga and the temple as such reflects the local architecture. \nLike all other temples in India, this beautiful shrine is also linked with a legend. It is said that once a shepherd boy accidentally noticed that two girls danced to the tune of his magical flute and he caught hold of one among them. The goddess revealed her identity and agreed to settle in the village at Bekhli. \nThe Jagannathi Devi Temple or the Bekhli Temple is perched at an altitude of 1800 meter.
