It is named after a nearby waterfall said to have magical properties. Remarkably, no nails were used in the building of the temple. There are several shrines in the compound. One shrine, dedicated to love, gives hope to many lonely pilgrims. At holidays, kiosks are set up for the large influx of visitors.
