The idol of Jhandewali Mata and a stone lingam with carvings of Naga were found by the merchant (Badri Das). He (the merchant) built the temple on the spot. Since the hands of the idol were damaged during excavation, hands of silver were made after that the original statue was consecrated in the cavern basement which came to be called “Maa Gufa Wali” (The Mother Goddess of Cave).
