It is said that once a person called Sheshappa went for hunting near Sigandur and got lost inside the jungles. When he was resting below a tree, Devi came in his dream and asked him to build a shrine here. He told his experience to a Brahmin Duggajja and the two built a shrine. People with land dispute and people who lose their valuables reach Sigandur for solution. It is said that more than 20,000 such cases have been solved here. People who want to safeguard their land from the thieves get a board from the shrine. The board says “Shri deviya rakshane ide (meaning the land is safeguarded by the mother) and keep this board near the land. There is also a Bhoota Sthana here. It is said that Sri Veerabhadra in this Bhootada katte is taking care of security of Sigandhur.
