Myth 

According to Hindu myths, when Sati Devi's father Daksha Prajapati was performing a yagya, he invited all the gods except for Mahadev to the ceremony. So Sati went to his father's yagya ceremony and asked him why he had not invited her husband. Daksha Prajapati answered that Mahadev drank alcohol, smoked ganja, slept in cemeteries, wore a serpent around his neck, had dreadlocks, covered his body with ash, wore tiger hide, hence he was not a suitable person to invite for such an important yagya. Unable to withstand such an insult to her husband, Sati jumped into the yagya fire and gave up her life. Mahadev was so angered by the news of her death that he sent Birbhadra and Bhoot gana to kill Daksha Prajapati and destroy the yagya. After extracting his vengeance, Mahadev started to mourn the death of his wife. Mahadev traveled all over the world carrying Sati's dead body. During this time, Vishnu released his Sudarshan chakra and wounded Sati's body so that it could be infested by insects and rot. As Sati's body started to rot and its parts fall off, the ground where her body parts fell became shakti peethas and places of worship. In this process, her left shoulder fell in Mallagiri mountain. This Mallagiri was then referred to as Malika.

According another myth, after Bagwati had killed a daitya named Mahisasur, she had rested a place called "Dwaredhunge" of Kalikot. Later when one low caste person had gone to that spot to collect fire wood, he felt so hungry that he asked the goddess for some meat and bread. The goddess gave him what he asked for. However, there was so much food that he could not finish everything by himself. So he decided to call all the people at home for the meal by yelling the message. Since his house happened to be far away from the spot, the people at his house could not hear his yelling and nobody joined him. This angered the person and thus he blurted a request to the goddess to kill everyone in his house. The goddess granted this deadly wish too. When he arrived home carrying all the food with him, he found all his relatives dead. He got angry and went back to Dwaredhunge. The goddess closed the doors of the temple and escaped. It is said that the imprint of the blow that the angry person had given to the door of the temple can still be seen. Because of this event, the goddess forever left the place, passing through Triveni, Panchpur Patan, Mallapuri Patan, and finally settling in Badimalika. The pilgrims too take this route while going to visit the temple.

Major Festivals

Every year there is a fair at this temple during the month of Bhadra. Pilgrims come from all over Nepal and India thinking that their wishes will be fulfilled if they pray at the temple. There are two official fairs during Ganga Dashara and Janai Purnima.

Getting There

To reach Badimalika temple, one has to make a difficult trek lasting 2-3 days from Martdi, the headquarters of Bajura district. The temple is at a remote location and since the route to the temple is not well developed, there is a lack of lodges and restaurants for the travelers to rest and eat. Thus all the necessary amenities need to be carried by the travelers themselves. During the trek, one can witness various species of wild flowers, and various domestic animals like sheep, goats, and buffaloes, grazing on the hills.

By Road

To reach Martdi by road, one has to first go to Dhangadhi or Nepalganj and from there reach Saafebagar of Achham. From Saafebagar, there is a motor able road that leads up to Bramhatola Serabazar.

By Air

A domestic flight from Nepalganj to Bajura airport is also available. From Kolti, a day's trek will lead to Martadi, the headquarters of Bajura district.

Remote and isolated community

A remote and secluded group is one that either is a long separation from exceptionally populated settlements or needs transportation interfaces that are ordinary in more populated ranges. The meaning of what is "remote" or "separated" differs considerably between districts of the world. Characterizing and distinguishing remote and detached groups is regularly done by governments so that extraordinary contemplation can be made to give administrations to these hard to-achieve places. 

In reacting to the avian influenza flare-up of 2009, a Canadian government body (the Remote and Isolated Task Group of the Public Health Network H1N1 Task Force) distributed the accompanying working definitions: 

Remote: depicts a land range where a group is situated more than 350 km from the closest administration focus having year-round street access. Confined, by the Canadian government definition, implies a topographical region that has booked flights and great phone administrations, yet is without year-round street access. Note that not all homes in a group have telephones, and that flights might be wiped out or deferred because of climate. 

In the above quote, the meaning of segregated is acquired from Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) and the meaning of remote is obtained from Health Canada.

Canada likewise has fly-in groups that need street, rail, or water associations and depend completely on bramble aeronautics. Other remote groups need street and rail yet have water access, for example, the Newfoundland outports, and those that have street get to part of the year on ice streets, or must be come to by rock street. One scholarly measure of remoteness utilized as a part of Canada is "nordicity". 

The Australian Bureau of Statistics orders its groups as per a "remoteness structure", with six classifications: Major Cities of Australia, Inner Regional Australia, Outer Regional Australia, Remote Australia, Very Remote Australia and Migratory.

Employment

    People living in remote and isolated communities often lack reliable, skilled or high-paying employment opportunities., which fundamentally undermines their human security. For individuals who wish to remain in their isolated communities for family, religious, philosophical or other reasons, their attachment to their communities discourages higher education. This promotes low educational achievement, which in turn results in low socioeconomic status, lack of social mobility, and a generational cycle of poverty. The results of the study show that the Internet has now opened up the possibility of both remote education (or online education) and remote work (remote employment).

Healthcare in remote and isolated communities

In Canada, there were 76 nursing stations and over 195 health centers servicing remote communities in Northern Canada or on Indian reserves in the south. In about facilities, registered nurses are employed by Health Canada, a ministry of the government of Canada. In the other communities, nurses are employed by the Band Council.

Policing in remote and isolated communities

Policing in remote ranges presents numerous difficulties, most clearly logistical, additionally social and even mental. 

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police had 268 "confined posts" in 2009. Confined posts are characterized by the Treasury Board of Canada as groups that face "special difficulties" identified with little populaces, brutal atmospheres, and/or constrained access by business transportation or all-climate roads.[5] All posts situated in Canada's three northern regions are viewed as disengaged and in addition numerous in the ten areas. A large portion of these posts are "fly-in just"; the police power has its own RCMP Air Services, which does everything from ship detainees to court to acquire new PCs to workplaces. In 2009, in the region of Nunavut there were 25 separations, all fly-in (no streets), and stand out RCMP airplane. 

The New Zealand Police in North land had 380 police staff in 21 stations in 2009, in a generally bankrupted rustic group with a vast Maori populace (32%). 

The Australian Institute of Criminology reports that cannabis use in Northern Australia is high (66% of men and one-fifth of ladies) and rising, putting request on neighborhood police forces.
