The Shivlinga is increasing in size, the devotees who visit here every year tell that the Shivlinga was small in size but now it's very huge. Government officials measure the size of Shivlinga every year.[3]
Every year on Mahashivratri and on Mondays of Sawan month people with Holy Water from Mahanadi River, Rajim (Kanwar Yatra) arrive here. In Chhattisgarh like "Dwadas Jyotirling", it is recognized as "Ardhnarishwara Shivlinga".[4]
