According to legend, Chaulukya king Jayasimha Siddharaja was suffering from skin disease following the curse from Ranakadevi, the queen whom he captured from Junagadh. He was cured after bathing in this tank so he refurbished the tank. The water of the tank is still considered miraculous.[1] It is mentioned in Prabandh Chintamani written by Merutunga. The tank kept finding its reference and mentions citing Siddharaj since 12th century.

It is also mentioned in Ain-e-Akbari. Poet Nanalal Dalpatram Kavi expresses and explains in his Hari Samhita that Krishna had visited the place.
