The supreme goddess Kirata Varahi and her great significance

According to mythology, two brothers were forest hunters. They used to hunt many animals like sambar deer, peafowl, and blue bull. They used to chase those animals into deeply forested areas where they had no means to follow them. As a result, their wife ran away with another man leaving two sons behind in their care. The two brothers soon became hunters and started chasing animals for food. One day deers entered the pugging ground and started fighting among themselves for food. At the same time, a boy appeared, giving it a hand. The elder brother understood it was a Kumara demon, so he killed him. But, he left his body parts scattered on earth which soon became Prasads. The younger brother, too, was searching for prasad, leaving the camp empty one day. He stumbled upon a hippie girl whose eyes were decorated with dots in red color, which resembled the eyes of a deer.

She asked him for prasad that were donned on him, thus becoming Kumraa’s daughter and transforming into his sister named ‘Kirata Varahi.’ They both prayed to Mother Earth to give them back their eternal father, but she did not listen to their prayers, so they decided to do penance by living on roots, stones, and grasses as if they were vermin. As a result, Mother Earth gave them both human forms from which she blessed them with their own Pitha to live wherever they wanted.
