Raja Shyam Sen ruled Mandi from 1664 to 1675. He was a great devotee of goddess Kali. Once Raja Jit Sen of Suket, ruler of the adjoining State, insulted Shyam Sen and Shyam Sen invaded Suket. Before proceeding for the battle Shyam Sen prayed and invoked the blessings of Goddess Kali. On his victory he was said to have built the temple and installed the deity.
