    History

    Prince Dhurjban, the son of Raja Jujhar Singh, abandoned his royal life and became an ascetic, adopting the name Sunder Das. He dedicated himself to meditation and devotion. The Sunder Mahal, initially built as his palace, was later converted into a temple in his honor. Local belief holds that Sunder Das possessed divine powers and could grant wishes to those who prayed sincerely. Even today, devotees flock to the temple seeking blessings and tying threads on its walls, hoping for their wishes to be fulfilled. The transformation of a royal residence into a sacred space highlights the power of faith and the enduring legacy of a prince who chose spirituality over worldly power.
