The belief of this bath is that when Sun’s son Yamraj came here to meet his sister Yamuna, Yamun ji honored him and both of them took bath at this resting place. Pleased with this, Yamraj asked his sister to ask for a boon, then Yamuna ji asked for a boon that the brothers and sisters who will bathe in my water at this ghat on this day, all their sins will be washed away and they will attain salvation. This is the only temple of Yamraj in the whole world which is situated at this resting place and after bathing, all the brothers and sisters atone for their sins by worshiping Yamraj in this temple. This is the reason why lakhs of brothers and sisters from India and abroad come here to take bath on this day with the desire of attaining salvation. And by taking bath together, brothers get freedom from Yama’s trap i.e. hell.
