The Mount Arbud (as formerly known as) started becoming a popular place ever since the British started taking special interest in the region. Almost as early as 1835 AD, the steady patronage of the British Empire started perching this hill station as a jewel amongst the Indian hill stations.

This temple is estimated of being nearly 7,000 years old!
