As per the Patna High Court judgment in 1948 the temple has existed since time immemorial. This temple gained popularity in 1947 with large number of Hindu refugees coming to Patna after the partition of India. Subsequently, the temple was rebuilt as a concrete house, which was demolished in 1987 to construct a huge marble temple. The idol of Sankat-Mochan, an avatar of Hanuman, stands in it.
