The tank being named as “Silpukhuri”, continues to be with full of water as it was when it was first excavated and supplies water daily to the needy.
A stone inscription is fixed on the walls of the temple and it records the construction of the same by “Tarun Duarah”, under the orders of King Rajesvar Singh. The temple was consecrated to the Navagrahas in 1674 Saka Era (1752 AD). K. L.
