following them and when Kaimasan and Maimasan realized that someone is chasing
them so they started running towards the forest.

a while Mughal leader caught Kaimasan at a point. Than kaimasan couldn’t find a
way to release herself from the Mughal leader so she prayed to Goddess Earth to
merge herself into the Earth. And when Maimasan saw that her sister got herself
merged into the Earth she also prayed the same to to Goddess Earth got herself
too merged into the Earth almost 1.5 km far from the place where kaimsan got
merged.
The Chandella ruler Chandra-Verman who the king of Mahoba District got to know about this incident he thought that every one should know about this so he decided to make temple at the very same spot where Kaimasan and Maimsan got themselves merged into the earth. So in the year of 1120 two different temples were established by the King Chandra Verman.
