Religious Significance

Once, Lord Brahma was performing a Yagna on the bank of the Pushkar Lake where the presence of Goddess Savitri was required. But as she was late in arriving and the holy moment was passing by, Brahma married another girl to complete this ritual. When the Goddess arrived she was upset to see someone else in her place and in her anger she cursed everyone present there. Later on, she went to the Ratnagiri hills to sacrifice for her deeds and changed into river. After this incident the temple was constructed in her dedication and still you will notice a small stream flowing beside the temple.

History

The idols of Savitri supposedly dated back to the 7th century A.D. The temple was built in 1687 CE on the hilltop and was rebuilt by Bangar family in early 20th century.
