History
The village is also known for the curse of Lila Baba for that no dead is cremated from this village. The Pipal tree situated on the river banks has a small temple of the Lila baba. There is an interesting story related to the lila baba who died of protest against the jamindar of the village, whom he cursed and that proved true within a period of fortnight and the entire family of the land lord died. Later lila baba left the physical body due fasting as he took no food. Curse is just a myth, people need to fill the gap between rituals and truth for their own good
