This early Kali Mandir was constructed in Jai Singh's Empire. Jai Singh was a very big believer in Goddess Kali so he had an idol installed in a very beautiful building. One time, during Navratre Festival, Jai Singh would attend the temple and worship the Goddess alongside other workers and ordinary people, as he believed that in front of the Goddess everyone is equal. Upon the eighth night of Navratre the Arti ritual was being perfumed when the idol became white with light, the light was so bright the devotees and Jai Singh struggled to see the actual idol. Before the idols stood this beautiful woman. The Goddess Kali had shown herself to everyone in her gentle form. She was floating above the ground, smiling and laughing and giving her blessings to each devotee in the mandir. Goddess Kali then said to Jai Singh, "I am pleased with your devotion to me, ask a boon". Jai Singh asked, "Your form is so beautiful, I ask that you marry me". Goddess Kali became angry. Her beautiful form of an graceful woman had now turned black and she was surrounded by fire. Loud roars of armies of lions filled the temple. The temple was trembling and the ground opened sinking the idol of the Goddess immersing it in the ground. She cursed Jai Singh, she said "Your wrong doings will cause your death and I will never come to this temple again I am leaving this place and won't return". Jai Singh pleaded he begged, "He said, I understand I must pay for my sins but please do not punish these innocent devotees and stay here so they can worship you". The idol remained above ground and the Goddess said she that would always be present here. Later that year, in the battleground near the temple Jai Singh was killed in war along side his two sons.
