History:-  If we go through Roygunakar Bharat Chandra’s “Ananda Mangal” (Chapter 47) we came to know that Kshirgram is counted among the 51 sati piths . According to mythology ,the right great toe of Goddess Sati had been dropped here in the time of Dakshya Joggya . The goddess is named as Jogadya . The specialty of this  particular Sati pith is that the name of Kshirgram is mentioned in all of the Tantras ,i.e 1) Kujjika tantra ,2) Brihanil Tantra, 3) Gandharbha Tantra, 4)Tantrasaar, 5)Tantrachuramani, 6)Annada Mangal,7) Mahapith Nirapanam,8)Shiva Charitha. By the way Kamrup ,Nepal, Prayag, & Kshirgram (Kshirika) these four shakti piths are mentioned  in each of the above Tantras.

Besides all of these, Kshirgram is famous for another reason also. According to Ramayana, Mahi Ravan had kidnapped both of Lord Shri Ram & Lakshman and kept them in Patal. Actually Mahi Ravan was a devotee of Goddess Bhadrakali . Lord Hanuman Went to Patal and escaped from there along with Lord Ram and Lakshman by killing Mahi Ravan,during that time Lord Hanuman also took the idol of Devi Bhadrakali and set up the idol in Kshirgram. Later, Devi  Bhadrakali had been renamed as Jogadya.
