This temple was built in the thirteenth century and restored by the Mara. This holy place is believed to be the origin of the holy river Ganga in its original course. Eligible herdsmen visit this fair with brightly coloured-umbrellas, as do girls of marriageable age from pastoral tribes, who get to choose their husbands from these herdsmen in the ancient Swayamvara tradition. A dip in the tank of this shrine on this day is considered to be as holy as taking a bath in the holy river Ganges.
