HIGHLIGHTS
The devta after transforming himself into child used to play everyday with a milk man in Bhoohani dhar. This way friendship developed between them. Whole day they used to play and cows roamed here and there. In the evening, devta helped the milkman gather his cows and disappeared. Once hte milk man asked about the identity of Devta, he told him that he was Ghatotkach and wants welfare of the villagers. When villagers came to know about this they built a temple. Due to appearance of the devta onBhoohani dhar they named him Bhoohani Dev.
