This Temple has protected the area that is only 10 km from the border
outpost. And the faith is such that the army and BSF soldiers still stop at
this temple and apply the sand on their foreheads and also to their vehicles
which keeps them safe and their journeys fruitful. The Population of Tanot
Village is 492 Person having 49 Household. The place is close to the Pakistan
