What is the story of Laxman Siddh Temple?

As the story goes, "Ram and Lakshman"—the sons of King Dasaratha—killed Ravana, and Lord Laxmana performed an atonement ritual at this site to cleanse himself of the sin of Brahmacharya. The temple is thus named "Laxman Sidhapeeth Temple."

According to mythology, it is the supposed spot where the holy swami Laxman Sidh performed penance and then took samadhi. There is also a well 400 meters from Sidhpeeth. In ancient times, the water from this well would flow out looking like milk. Since the well was dry when Laxman Ji shot into it, he could get water from it.
