The lower part of the body i.e. from thigh to knee of Lord Jagannath of Puri is said to have worshipped here in the temple of Jangha Dev.

It is also believed that the Pandavas after completing the funeral rites of Lord Krishna thrown the remnants i.e. the “Navi Brahma” into the Ocean. The forest dwellers during that time collected that lower part of the Lord and started worshipping IT. Those people worshipping the lower part of the body later identified themselves as Gonds.

During the Mughal invasion the idol of Lord Jangha Deva was brought to the dense forest of Sundergarh. Since than the Lord Jangha Deva is being worshipped in Bhoipali village.
