The main temple of Shri Aryadurga Matte is located at Ankola, in North Karnataka. In addition, the other temples of the mother are situated in Devihasol area of Kudal and Kankavali and Rajapur talukas in Sindhudurg district, and all areas of the Aryudurga mother are the Jagrut Devasthan. Mother's glory is also great. Come on, let's know the great saga of Mother ... One was a cruel demon named Vratsaru, who was very strong, proud of his shyness, and the youngster destroyed his enemies and ruled over the earth. All have done for you. After that, his importance grew so much that he attacked heaven and captured Indra with the Harbun paradise. Surrendered to all Gods Lord Vishnu, Brahma and Mahadev, and told them about the events that happened. The power created from the divine power of Goddess Trimurti as well as Goddess Devta. From the Vishnutaja, the hands and hair received from the Goddess, from the moment, the breast, the abdomen from the womb, the surface of the earth, the waist, the feet from the feet, the feet from the sunlight, the nose from the Kuberateja, the Prajapati tejata tooth, the air from the eyes, the ears received from the fire. Lord Mahadev gave Trishul to the Goddess, Lord Vishnu gave his Sudarshan Chakra, Brahma gave his Brahma, handed it over, Varunudeva gave the Varunpasha, Vayudeva gave his divine bow, Indra gave his thunder, Agni Dev gave divine power, Marathas gave conch shells, All deities devi He gave his power. Such a goddess, Ayaadurga mother, worshiped all the gods and goddesses on the divine form of her mother. The youngster was frightened by seeing the divine radiance of the Divine. There was a bitter battle between the two. At last, the mother killed the bullocks and made peace everywhere. Goddess Deity honoured Devi Aryadurga.

A story is also prevalent in the Aryadurga Devi manifestation at Hasol. Palsule Desai was a gentleman who stayed near Hasol village near Rajapur in Konkan. He was a very big worshiper of the Goddess. Desai used to go to Ankola (Karnataka) to worship Goddess AryaDurga every year. During his last visit he prayed to Goddess Aryadurga that due to old age he would not be able to come for Devi's Darshan from the following year. He prayed to Goddess that he has worshipped her with full devotion, but now this was his last visit. Aryadurga Devi was pleased with his devotion. The same night she appeared in Desai's dream and told him that he does not have to come for her Darshan. She said she was very pleased with his devotion, and so she would follow him to his house on his journey as he walked home. But during the journey he should not turn around and see. When Desai came to the border of DeviHasol village, he heard the sound of Devi's Anklets, which caused him to look back with curiosity. Arya Durga Devi appeared in the spiritual form of the mother for a moment and then disappeared. At that spot her Footmarks appeared and her temple was built at that very spot. Even today you can see the Footmarks of Arya Durga Devi inside the Mandir. My grand mother also narrated me a story of her rules and glory. It seems that the goddess is very intolerant when it comes to invasion of people belonging to other religion into her temple vicinity.(in the olden days tbh) She said that once two friends, one who was a resident of the same village(Devihasol) and another one who belonged to some other religion rested in the temple premises during their way home at the odd hour. unaware, that the latter person's presence had upset the Goddess, they went to sleep. No sooner did they go in a deep sleep, than she sent different animals to wake them up.\Both of them struggled to live on borrowed time. Soon the villager closing his eyes started praying to the goddess. While his eyes were closed he could see the devi standing down with two brooms made up of peacock feathers in her each hand and approaching towards him outside the temple. She swept he animals away troubling the men. and keeping her back towards the temple she sat in the original position inside her temple walking reverse. After this the man opened his eyes but saw the murti in the temple as if she never walked. Navdurga, Arya durga and Zakadevi are sisters. When navdurga's idol is held at the door of zakadevi's temple, people say that they hug eachother and navdurga's shadow(which moves while she hugs zakadevi) is clearly seen even when the actual idol is held 4 feet away from zakadevi's idol. It is said the sisters actually hug eachother. A saw scaled viper(highly venomous snake) welcomes navdurga each year after her idol is placed in a circle in the center of the village. He climbs her idol starting from her left foot touches her head and slides down her right foot and enters a hole.
