The king, it is said, came into the close contract of a sage called Shri Sant dass. Those were the last days of the king’s rule.
The Bharatpur temple is constructed out of almond color sand stone of Bansi Phadpur. In this temple ornate work and floral patterns have been engraved. Jagmohan and Garbhagriha are also in present. In front, there is a big open Courtyard. This sage Sant Dass was the great devotee of Laxmanji and always remained dedicated to him. It is said that soon after the foundation of the temple was laid Maharaja Baldev Singh who had in fact founded it, declared his son Balwant Singh as his successor king. Thus Maharaja Balwant Singh in his rule got the temple constructed. The idols were enshrined in the Vikram Samvat 1947 (1890 A.D.).
