HIGHLIGHTS

Jal devta and a Bisht girl, who lived in the pond of Sugga-Sarpara, gave birth to nine Nags. They first gathered at Ghamaini Thatch. Eldest Nag called Rai advised others to go to different places. Because of having bigger body like Gaj (Elephant) he was also known as Gajai and because of ruling (Shashan) on other Nags he was also called Shashni. From Ghamaini, where it was the Ashram of Sain Balmiki, he came to Mula. He served Maharshi Balmiki who became pleased and blessed him. He lastly reached Dethwa where the people built a temple for him. The devta has ten mohras.
