A tank in the vicinity is named Sona Chál Dighi, and is said to have yielded gold, which the Pândus washed here: hence the name. The interior of the fort is now cultivated, and people say they occasionally come upon sál timber buried underground.

Bhim, however, is said to have set up another lingam on the other side of the river, close to, and west of, the old fort: this is now known as
