The sanctuary was initially fabricated at the mouth of the waterway Chandrabhaga, yet the waterline has subsided from that point forward. The sanctuary has been inherent the manifestation of a monster ornamented chariot of the Sun god, Surya. It has twelve sets of extravagantly cut stone wheels some of which are around 9 feets wide and is pulled by seven sets of steeds.

After a time of twelve years, a workforce of twelve thousand practically completed the development. At the same time, they neglected to mount the crown stone. The anxious ruler requested the sanctuary to be done in three days or the artisans be executed. At the time, Bisu Maharana's twelve year old child, Dharmapada touched base at the site. Bisu Maharana had never seen his child, as he had left his town when his wife was still pregnant. Dharmapada effectively proposed an answer for mount the crown stone.
