History:

The Shiva Linga was found in a bush which was identified by a villager who was passing that way to collect woods. First the Linga was taken out of the bush and placed near the pond. Later a small thatched roof was built for the Linga. After some years the villagers took efforts to build the temple and many goodhearted people from outside help in constructing the temple. Now the temple has been built.
