The temple is new, its God ( Sibling) is pretty old, dating back to 6th century. The temple is built with the help of rehabilitation assistance fund and unexpected source. Locals lent their helping hand. The help of cassette king late Gulshan Kumar is significant. He has donated all the marble fitted so far. A “Jugal Murti” of Shiba-Parvati carved out of single stone is placed as his spiritual gift in the sanctum -sanatorium Ram temple is located down hill. 40 ft. hanuman statue is one of the attraction.
A drive in the winding road along the running water canal slakes the thirst of tired tourist. Still, more trekking up the road to the temple across green hills with a glance at the transparent reservoir amid the lively forest offers a breathtaking view.
