Since Devi is ‘pure’ she could not access the ‘impure’ sewer. So to overcome this, Saraswati devi, Lakshmi devi and Kali washed their bodies to extract ‘mel’ (which is the dirt that comes off your body when you wash) and with that they formed another Devi and she was named Meldi maa (her name obviously corresponding to her creation). Since she was created from ‘mel’ she was able to access the sewers and killed the demon. As this devi was made from ‘mel’ she was also considered ‘impure’, so she was washed in the Ganges water which then made her fit for worship.
