As per the legends

State Government of Bihar and some other devoted patrons reconstructed
the temple. They ordered to start the construction on 8 February 1992 and the
templeis now fully restored. The interior of the temple is just similar to the
famous Jagannath Temple in Puri, Odisha as this temple is constructed in the
same architectural style, although smaller in size.
