Later, a peasant from the same hamlet had a dream in which the idol told him to rescue it from a cabin near the village. Bhikam Chanda Tiwari later erected a temple there, which today has a significant impact on the lives of the inhabitants. There are now several cultural activities as well as medical camps being held there.

It is reported that around 2220 years ago, a local king named Raja Veersen performed countless pujas and worshiped the gods in hopes to be blessed with a child.
