According to legend, there were three brothers who were mute, deaf and blind. They were digging a well to bring water to their field. The equipment they were using fell into the well after hitting a hard object. When they dug further, blood started pouring out of the well and all three got rid of their disability. Villagers reached the spot and found Ganesh ji as the deity. The villagers did further excavations, but they could not find the base of the deity. The deities sit in the well which is always full of water. Vinayaka is the presiding deity of the temple. According to legend, it is believed that the deity is Shvetambu. The deity is seen in the well, always filled with water.
