It’s an important worship place of people belonging to SC/ST community. It is alleged that the temple was destroyed by those who were eyeing the property for quite some time. Earlier they had made efforts to buy the temple property. As their efforts went futile, they resorted to destroying the temple. However, the devotees managed to rebuild the temple within 36 hours.
