History

According to legend, Jai Singh, after winning a wrestling match with a ghost near Natiyali Nadi near the village, tied him in chains and built a palace for himself along with a well. Due to a broken promise between the ghost and the Thakur, a part of the well and the two-story palace remained incomplete. This well was built with 16 poles by carving artwork on Lal Ghat stone.
