Devotees bring offerings like; coconuts, fruits, flowers, money, red Chunaries and vermillion to offer the goddess on a daily basis.

The Goddess Harshad is also quite a popular Goddess in Gujarat. Her temple is famous for curing incurable diseases, restraining life, and it is also famous because the Goddess appeared at the fort of the temple. According to myth, there one lived a man (Birju) in a village where the temple of the Goddess Harshad stands now. He was a regular devotee of the Goddess and worshipped her everyday. He had a happy family, consisting of him, his wife and his two children.

The family also achieved quite a prestigious honor in the village.One morning when Birju was in the temple of the Goddess he thought why is his village suffering? It had not rained in their village for months now. Animals, plants and people were dying of dehydration. He looked up at the idol of the Goddess and prayed to her.

To his astonishment, the goddess spoke out loud to him, she said she can rid his village of all the impurities however; she needs a sacrifice on each step of her temple (in other words 2000 sacrifices). Birju was left troubled. He was caught thinking how he will sacrifice 2000 animals. The following day, he began to sacrifice his animals he sacrificed lambs, sheep, donkeys, on the final steps, he was short a few. He sacrificed his wife’s head, then both his children’s and finally his too. That completed the 2 000 steps of the Goddess.

Maa Harshad came down to earth from her temple on the mountain. As she took each step, whatever animal lay there was restored back to life. She blessed the village, and gave them plenty of rain, water, vegetables and nourishment. Birju and his fmaily were blessed and declared Harshad mataji as their Kul Ni devi also interpreted as Kuldevi
