Ex minister Ganeshji Naik. Jaipur-made Idols have been used in the construction of the temple.

Legend

This is a very ancient temple of Lord Siva, who is here in the name of Jagruteswar . Interestingly, the yoni of the lingam here keeps increasing in size and currently is relatively fairly bigger than the lingam itself . Infact the name Jagruteswar is because the Lord here is awake and is growing. Keen observers, even today, realize this growth in the size of the yoni.

The structure follows modern architectural theme.
