History
The village is famous for "Phalgu Tiratha. Legend says that three daughters of the king of Gaya were married to Phalgu Rishi. The daughters were always keen on visiting Gaya on auspicious occasions to accrue “Punia” of that land. But the rishi was unable to send them there on every occasion. In order to get the beneficial effects of the Gaya teertha Phalgu Rishi prayed incessantly. As a result he got a boon that by offering “pinds” to the departed souls on Somavati Amavas one would derive the same benefit as by performing the ritual at the Gaya Teertha.
