असं मानलं जातं की देवी पार्वती महादेवांचा शोध घेत अघनाशीनी नदी काठी तपच्छर्या करू लागली.भगवान प्रसन्न होऊन भयंकर व्याघ्र रूपात प्रकट झाले.देवींनी "त्राही मां गिरीश"असा पुकारा सुरू केला.भगवान शिव मुळ रूपात प्रकट झाले.पार्वतीने त्यांना मांगिरीश या नावाने इथेच राहाण्याची विनंती केली Image
या मंदिराचे छप्पर ताम्रपत्र्यांनी मढवलेले आहे.या देवीची अख्यायिका अशी आहे की समुद्रमंथनाच्या वेळी चौदा रत्नांच्या वाटणीच्या वेळी देवदैत्यांमध्ये झालेले युध्द मिटवण्यासाठी भगवान विष्णूंनी मोहिनी रूप धारण केले तोच श्री महालसा देवीचा अवतार मानला जातो.
