History
Built by the Rajput King Tanu Rao in 828 A.D., the temple gained fame during the 1965 and 1971 Indo-Pakistani wars. Legend states that thousands of shells fired by the Pakistan Army failed to explode near the temple, and tanks were defeated in surrounding areas, leading to the construction of a victory pillar (Vijay Stambha) by the Indian Army.
