There have been many folktales behind the name of “Chateswar Mahadev”. According to these folktales there was a big pond a long time ago exactly at the same place where Mahadev Chateswar’s temple is present now. Nearby the pond there was Chata Salli (a kind of school in village). A boy named “Chatamani” a pupil of the school got slipped and vanished while cleaning his feet in the deep pond and nobody found him. This incident was taken to the king’s court and in the same night the king got a vision that – “Chatamani” is not a ordinary student rather “I am myself “Lord Shiva” and needs to be worshipped in this particular place”, also the king was instructed to construct a temple and offer puja (worship) with due rituals”. After this the temple was named “Chateswar”.
