This is the history of the temple

During the Mahabharata period, Pandavas were given exile. Nakul and Sahadeva, both younger brothers of Pandavas, had come here and took bath in the lake. After that worshiped at Baba Achaleshwar Dham. Gradually religious belief continued to increase. Achaleshwardham is Baba Siddhapeeth, whatever one wishes from the heart is definitely fulfilled, hence temples started being built around Achaleshwardham. Ganga water used to come from the Gomukhs built in Achalsarovar from the Barautha Ganga canal located in Harduaganj. With this water, Jalabhishek of Lord Shiva was performed and devotees used to take bath in the lake. The temple was renovated five hundred years ago.
