The construction of the temple began 2 decades ago. The shape of the sand dunes on the banks of Shakkar River in Gadarwara was similar to a Damaru. People started calling it 'Damaru Ghati'. The construction of the temple was started by SDOP BS Parihar, who was posted in Gadarwara, in collaboration with the local citizens.[7]
