In Dwapara Yuga, Arjuna visited the place and offered special rituals.

The significance of Antarvedi temple is associated with a war between sage Vashishta and sage Vishwamitra. In this war, Vishwamitra maharshi created a demon called ‘Raktha Vilochana’, who killed all sons of Vashishta. Vashishta observed a severe penance for Lord Narasimha to kill the demon.
