During that time, Lieutenant Colonel Stanley Smith was given the orders for establishing a Guns and Carriage Factory at Jabalpur. One night, Smith saw a dream of an ancient idol of lord Hanuman buried in the ground where the factory was being built. He gave orders to the builders to dig out the ground and after a massive search, an idol of lord Hanuman was found.

He wrapped the idol in a red cloth. On 12 August 1903, the construction of the Paat Baba Mandir began.

After the construction finished, as soon as the work of building the Gun Carriage Factory started, it was finished safely, without any trouble. It is believed that Lord Hanuman helped in the development of the Gun Carriage Factory, and he still protects it.
