Every year countless devotees visit the temple and take blessings from their favorite deity. Earlier this town was known as Danakpur or Danakpuri due to presence of Lord Shiva temple known as Dankanath Mahadev temple. This town used to crackle with large number of khakhra trees (Butea monosperma) and was therefore also called as "Khakhariu gaam". It is also said that Rishi Dank had his hermitage here on the banks of lake Gomti. Present day temple of Ranchodji was built in 1772 by Gopalrai Jagannath Ambeka
