The main festival celebrated here is Makar sakrantri, which comes on second week of January. According to legends, it is said that after killing Mahishasura, Devi had got some injuries and to heel those injuries Goddess had applied Butter on her body.

Devotees visit the temple with hopes of getting their wishes fulfilled, elections & cases won, exams passed or life otherwise to be happy and successful. It is said that anything asked for after performing homagni and yajna at the temple is granted.

Now this place is known by the name of Chintapurni. This place is one of the 51 Shakti Peeths. The feet of Mata Sati fell here. When Maa Sati, enraged by the insult of Shiva by her father, jumped into the sacrificial fire of her father King Daksha and sacrificed her life, then the angry Shiva roamed around the whole universe with her body. To calm Shiva's anger, Lord Vishnu broke the body of Mata Sati into pieces with his chakra. Wherever these pieces of the body fell on the earth, that place was called Shakti Peeth. This temple of Chintapurni Mata, that is, the goddess who fulfills worries, is very ancient. Devotees have immense faith in touching the lotus feet of Mata.
Chintapurni Devi is also called Chhinnamastika Devi. According to Shri Markandeya Purana, when Mother Chandi won by killing the demons, to quench the thirst of blood of the mother's assistant yoginis Ajaya and Vijaya, she cut her head and quenched their thirst with her blood, hence the mother was named Chhinnamastika Devi.
