The temple was renovated many times. This temple was built by a mother-in-law (sasu) and his son’s wife (vahu). When his son’s wife struck against the door-frame, her mother-in-law taunted. Virabhai, the son’s wife, therefore, built with money from her parental home, a temple of 52 idols brightly shining like a God’s residence. The chief idol is of Bhagawan Dharmanath. Every year, a fair is held here on the seventh day of the dark half of the month of Posh. Even today, this temple is famous as the sasu-vahu temple.
