Religious Significance

According to legend, five centuries ago, there was a Nawab named Shaukat Ali, the landlord. Then this area was called Alamganj. There was also a saint named Hathinath. Once, the saint was taking bath in the pond, when a man brought an elephant to that place. He rudely asked the saint to make way for the elephant. The saint said the elephant should wait. The man said the elephant belonged to the Nawab and moved the elephant into the water. The saint, very angry, plucked its tusks. The elephant died, while the man fled the scene. From then onwards, the tusks have been preserved very carefully in a temple room. Nawab Shaukat Ali bowed before the saint with respect. He donated his entire land for the temple. 

History

The temple was built 600 years ago and contributed by Nawab Shaukat Ali.
