It is said that earlier there was no idol of the goddess at Kshirgram but both the [[Puja (Hinduism)|puja]] and the fair were there. The goddess in an ugra-chandi form appeared in a dream to Haridutta, the king of Kshirgram and he got a stone image of the ten-armed Singhabahini goddess made and established it. The goddess is worshipped by the [[Aguri (caste)|Ugra Kshatriyas]] in places other than Kshirgram, a day earlier.<ref name=binoyghosh/>

When the idol of goddess Yogadya was once found broken, Nabin Bhaskar of [[Dainhat]] made an exact duplicate and the cost was borne by the Maharaja of Bardhaman.<ref>Chattopadhyay, Akkori, ''Bardhaman Jelar Itihas O Lok Sanskriti'' (History and Folk lore of Bardhaman District.), {{in lang|bn}}, Vol II, page 483, Radical Impression. {{ISBN|81-85459-36-3}}</ref>
