The temple is newly built.[5][6] Originally, a small shrine honouring the goddess was present under a tree but this was later replaced by the present temple.[7][8][9] It is mainly followed by Hinduism religion people.

The most important festivals of them are Dashain, which usually takes place during either September or October (as per the traditional Hindu Calendar) and Teej, a large number of devotees visit it on Teej.[7][10]
