named after a man now deified 
whose temple stands on the top. 
He was the son of Sathu, after 
whom the village of Sathukhera 
is named, and the most remarkable 
action of his life appears to have 
been his abduction of a neighbour¬ 
ing beauty. He carried her to 
the top of this hill while the pur¬ 
suing father and his friends were 
driven back by the bees that swarm 
on the precipice on either side of 
the hill. These bees are still called 
Goram’s bees.
