According to [[Skanda Purana|Skandpurana]], [[Shachi]], the daughter of Daityaraj Pulom in Satyuga, had penned the austerity of Maa Parvati, the adhyaksh goddess of the Himalayas at Jwalpa Dham along the river Nayar to receive [[Indra]] as husband. Mother Parvati rejoices over Shachi's penance and fulfills her wish, appearing as Deept Jwaleswari, and the place was then named Jwalpa.<ref name="Ilamurugan"/><ref name=":1" /><br />

It is also said that [[Adi Shankaracharya]] visited and prayed in this temple, and the goddess appeared to him.<ref name="Ilamurugan"/><br />
