History


It is believed that Jagdham or Jaga, the Pratihara ruler of Kashmir, was suffering from leprosy. While on pilgrimage he was brought to Shrimal Patan(now Bhinmal). While he was resting in Naga Baba's garden, which was south of Bhinmal, a dog was rolling in the mud of the river in Naga Baba's garden, went to the king and jumped. Due to this, some particles of wet soil fell on the king's feet and he saw that wherever the soil fell, that place became free from leprosy. At that time the king was bathed in the mud of that well, then the king got relief from leprosy and his body became strong. At that time Jaga, the ruler of Pratihara, was accepted as the ruler of Bhinmal. From then on, Mata Kshemankari became the family deity of the Pratiharas. King Jaga repaired the pond and built a huge and strong city wall. In the 12th century, the Deora Chauhans defeated the Pratiharas and drove them away, after which only the Chauhan rulers remained in Bhinmal.
