History

According to religious beliefs, Baba Garibnath Dham has a history of about three hundred years. It is believed that earlier there was a dense forest and there were seven peepal trees in between. It is said that at the time of the cutting of these trees, blood-red substances started coming out and a huge lingam was found here. People tell that Baba appeared in the land owner's dream, since then worship is being here. ^{[2] [3] [4]}
