Jodhpur to Osian

It is said that there was a big temple of Chamunda Mata in Upkeshpur presently known as Osiya situated near Jodhpur, Rajasthan. The temple was known for chamatkars and therefore everybody prayed to Chamunda Mata. During navratri, buffaloes were butchered and their flesh was offered to please Chamunda Mata. Acharya Shri Ratna Prabh Suri stopped this practice of animal killing. The goddess got angry because of this and she caused pain in the eyes of the Acharya. He did not do anything but continued with the suffering. Chamunda Mata was ashamed when she found that Acharya has not reacted to her act. She asked for forgiveness from the Acharya
