Historicity: At the entrance of the village, on the wall of the
temple, there is a painting of Vastupal Tejpal. it gives an idea of the antiquity and
splendor of the temple. The temple is beautifully constructed. According to historical
records, when the parents of Vastupal’s died, he decided to go on a pilgrimage to
Siddhachalji to soothe his grief. before going, he thought of burying his wealth under the
ground. As he went to bury his wealth under a tree, he saw there a large copper vessel,
full of wealth. Anupamadevi said to Vastupal "If you want to go to a low state of
life, bury the wealth under the ground and if you want to go to a high state of life,
beautify the hills with summits" As a result, the temples of Girnar and Delwada and
the tirth of Bhujpur came into existence.
