Reference of Singheshwar sthan has been found in Barah puran too. According to that puran once this place was infested with deep forests. Cattle roamers used to come regularly at that place with their cattle. During the course of grazing one virgin cow used to sprinkle milk from her breast on a particular place. The cattle roamers saw the & charismatic action of that cow one day a began to dash that place. After digging he got a shivlilya there if being filed up with religious feeling began to worship. Gradually people become a ware of this happening and in course of time a small temple was constructed these with the contribution of the dew tees of here Shiva.

Another reference of Barah puran is also quoted here. Once herd Vishnu, Brahma and Indra visited kailashpuri with a view to discuss some important aspect of world affairs, but unfortunately Lord Shiva was not there. They searched a lot but ultimately returned hopelessly. During the course of return journey the intuitional telepathy indicated them that Lord Shiva in the guise of a deer is residing in a lonely place of the deep forest. The omniscient Lord identified the unique dear adorned with unparalleled beater in the guise of lord Shiva and captured him after continuous attempt. The Tridevas hold the horn of the deer in three parts. Lord Indra holds the upper portion, Lord Brahma the middle and Lord is Vishnu the lower portion of that horn. But suddenly that horn broke in to three parts. Tridevas got one- one part of that horn and Lord Shiva disappeared. Then a forecast was heard that Lord Shiva will not be visible at present. Consequently Tridevas were bound to be satisfied with that very part of the horn. It is said that Lord Indra established that horn in the heaven, Lord Brahma in the same place and Lord Vishnu established that horn in Singheshwar for the welfare of the human being.

It is also said that during the Ramayana period a purashthee Yagya was done by Raja Dashratha were as he blessed with four sons’ from the Prasad “Charu” of that mahayagya. The great Sringhi Rishi primarily worshipped Lord Shiva on the occasion of that Yagya. Seven “Havana Kunds” created of that time has been converted into a ravaged tank now.
