During rainy season. the river Kubja which flows near the temple of Brahmi Durgadevi at Kamalashile enters the temple and touches the feet of idol of goddess.
It happens in every rainy season.
There is a story behind this.
Long ago, there was an Apsara by the name Pingala. She was a dancer and she was entertaining the divine couple of Shiv - Parvati with her dance.
Pingala soon developed a feeling that without her dance, divine couple dont have other means of entertainment !
This made her little proud. One day she refused to dance.
This made Parvati angry and she cursed Pingala to get deformed as a dwarf ( Kubja in Sanskrit ) as Pingala was proud of herself.
With her deformation, Pingala returned to Earth and started doing meditation to please Parvati.
Days passed. Demons were creating trouble , sages found it difficult to do any religious rituals. Finally, they prayed to Parvati to eliminate the demons.
Parvati came to earth to kill the demons. She settled in KamalaShile on the request of sages. At that time, she came to know that Pingala is doing meditation in her deformed form. Pleased by Pingala's meditation, Parvati took her curse back.
But Pingala , wanted to serve Parvati. This made Parvati to transform Pingala as river Kubja ( dwarf ) and she assured Pingala that in every rainy season, river Kubja will be allowed to touch her feet in Kamalashile.
