The names of the four Mahasu brothers are: Pavasik Mahasu, Vasik Mahasu, Botha Mahasu and Chalda Mahasu. The people of this area are considered as the sons of Lord Shiva.

According to Hindu mythology, a demon named Karmic plagued people living in this village. The people of the village were upset with this monster. A devotee of Lord Shiva performed austerity of Lord Shiva and Lord Shiva pleased and gave Deolari Devi four sons. There was a battle between the monster and these four brothers, which lasted for a few days and in the end, four brothers managed to kill monsters. After a few years, a farmer farmed in his farm, got four Shivlinga, which was named after Deolari Devi - Botha, Pawasik, Vaishik and four warrior sons of Chalda. Since then, the villagers started worshiping Lord Shiva in the name of Mahasu Devta.
