Historicity: The local people known the idol as nagfani baba and has great fiath in miraculous power. Legends tell us that the idol was found by one old tribak woman in the forest and she took a vow that she would worship the idol if her ambition is fulfilled. On fulfillment of her ambitions, she started worshipping the idolbut it was difficult for her to climb the hill daily so after some days she requested the God to come down to her house. she had a dream that she should bring a carriage of sarkanda and she should not look back. The oldwoman could carry the heavy idol but on reaching the stream, she got suspious whether the idol had fallen away and she looked back. Due to her suspicion, the power of faith was broken and the carriage could not be taken any further  and the temple was made at that very site.
