There were several attempts to eradicate all these trees during the Mughal period, but they could not be eradicated. It is said that Parvati’s son Kartik Swami was appointed as the commander in place of Siddhavat. He also killed Tarakasura here.
Three types of accomplishment …
The sacred principles of Ujjain provide three types of attainment – progeny, wealth and property. Worship is done here to attain all three. Sadgati means rituals performed for fathers. Raksha sutra is tied on the tree for property ie Lakshmi work and inverted Satiya (swasvik) is made for the attainment of a child ie son. This tree gives all the three types of siddhis, hence it is called Siddhavat. Locals believe that Goddess Parvati did penance at this place. It is also called Kalpavriksha in Skanda Purana. At the same time, it is also described as the pilgrimage of Pitramoksha.
The Nagabali, Narayan Bali-Vidhan is of special importance here. Property, works of birth and success of works are.
