Bhadraj temple was constructed by the local villagers of Matogi village, Binhar but why it was situated takes us back to the story. After the war of Mahabharata, Lord Balram left his kingdom and went for expiation. On the way, he reached that place where people’s affection towards their cattle attracts Balram and he started doing meditation there, in a moment Balram got along with everyone. When finally, the time came to leave that place after spending years with villagers, people request a lot to not leave them while seeing their respect and love towards him, Balram promised that he’ll come back in the form statue and would take care of everyone and their cattle.

After years, Nandu Mehra the villager was on his way when he hears a voice requesting to take him out from the ground for a time he panics but somehow, he digs and found Balram’s statue. Again, the voice mentioned Nandu to take this statue to the top of the hill and placed it where it feels heavy to you while carrying it. In the starting statue was light as he takes upwards to the top hill the statue become heavy, so he placed it at that place and today it’s known as Bhadraj Temple.
