The Solanki queen had been pregnant for 12 years but her foetus did not grow. Thus the Solanki king and the queen came to Char Choma from Mandsor and they offered their prayers to Lord Shiva here with the explicit request that if Lord Shiva blessed them with a child, they would construct a temple. The Solanki king began to live there in a palace. By the grace of Lord Shiva, the royal couple begot a son. Therefore to express their obligation and homage to Lord Shiva, they built this temple.
