Legend has it that the idol of Goddess Devkali was brought by Sita Devi herself when she arrived in Ayodhya after her marriage to Lord Rama. The temple is believed to have been built around the same time as the Ram Janmabhoomi temple, signifying its ancient origins. Over the centuries, the temple has undergone several renovations and expansions, reflecting the evolving architectural styles and religious practices of the region. It has remained an integral part of Ayodhya's spiritual landscape, witnessing the city's transformations and serving as a constant source of faith and devotion. Despite the historical events and controversies surrounding Ayodhya, Chhoti Devkali Temple has stood as a symbol of resilience and enduring religious significance.
