Legend has been reproduced from outlook (magazine). A Pauri Bhuiya legend explains how his mountain became so munificent.

At one time in the Sundergarh branch of the community, there was the greedy goddess who used to eat trees, soil, and all other things. In despair, Pauri Bhuiya placed him on a rock which he ate – made a deep hole through which the Khandahar (dividing rock spring) turned out. So they had water.
