It is said that during the month of Shravan, on any one Monday, the Shivling gets submerged in water.

This place can be undoubtedly described as a "historical garden" due to the number of ancient temples standing tall in a beautifully maintained, green garden. In my opinion, this place was a better visit than the actual temple where people go to pray to Goddess Narmada (Narmadakund).

The primary structures of the garden were designed and commissioned during the reign of King Karna or Lakshmikarna of the Kalachuri Dynasty of Tripuri in Central India. Avid readers of Sharadindu might recognize him from the story 'Tumi Sandharo Megh' where he tenaciously wants to bring an end to the Great Pala rule of Eastern India while his younger daughter, Princess Yuvanashree falls in love with a Pala prince. After visiting the place, I felt much connected to this part of history which made me feel really happy!
