This is the Holy Land of the four Kalyanakas of Bhagawan namely, chayavan, birth, diksa and attainment of Omniscience. The Rohani village of today was once a large city named Ratanpur. Since this was a land of Kalyanakas, many ancient temples were no doubt here and in course of time, the tirth witnessed many rising and falls. This tirth is mentioned in the ‘Vividh Tirthkalpa’ written in the 14th century. people of this place know Bhagawan by the name, Dharmaraj, Worshippers faithfully come to the temple to fulfil their wishes.
