 The river is the main source of water to city's inhabitants.Near the river, there is a temple to Shiva, husband to the goddess, which is believed to date back as far as 3500 years.Locals believe that in the month of Sawan (during the rainy season), the river Parvati gets flooded with water and the water level rises until up to that level when it reaches to Shiv-Ling (Lingam) in the Shiva temple on its bank.
