Inscriptions

It seems to be an ancient tirth place as per inscription. The idol established on Margshirsh Shukla Saptami of Vikrama Samvat 813 (756 AD) was re-established in the temple on Marrgshirsh Shukla 5 of Vikrama Samvat 1233 (1176 AD). A description of its establishment on Poush Shukla 9 of Vikarama Samvata 1340 (1283 AD) is also found.
