Jagajjanani is the origin of the entire universe and uncreated Goddess came into existence near Manasa Sarovar at a height of Twenty thousand feet above sea level. It was described in Puranas and Vedas that all the Gods and Goddess arrive to Mansa Sarovar prior to sun rise and take bath to worship the Goddess Jagajjanani. Jagajjanani was described in the Puranas viz., Kapalika Vidhi, Vamakeswara Tantra, Sakthi Sthal, Devi Bhagavatam, Karthikeya. Being Jagajjanani, she is the primary Goddess of Universe. Shiva, Parvathi, Vishu, Lakshmi, Brahma, Saraswathi who are Trimrthy and Trisakthi were created by Jagajjanani. The Goddess worshipped as Mahamaya, Yogamaya, Adi Para Sakthi in different places. Being the creator of the entire Universe, the Goddess worshipped here with the name of Jagajjanani.
