Harsidhhi

Harsidhhi, one of the aspects of Durga, is a regional Hindu goddess, popular in Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, adjoining Maharashtra states of India.

She is also religiously worshiped by fishermen and other sea-faring tribes and people of Gujarat as she is considered protector of ships at sea.

It is said Krishna had worshiped her during his lifetime and has since been living atop hill called Koyla Dungar.

Krishna wanted to defeat the asuras and Jarasandha so he prayed to Amba Mata for power.

His Captain told him that we warned you that no ships can reach within sight of temple over the hill now only Goddess Harsidhhi can save us.

She appeared and Jagadu persuaded her to descend the hill so her eyes do not fall on ships.

To keep his words, Jagadu brought buffaloes and sacrificed but the number fell short and the goddess was still few steps away from the new temple site.

Vikramaditya is said to have visited Koyla Dungar at Miyani, then known as Minalpur, a port city ruled by Prabhatsen Chavda of Chawda dynasty.
