According to Hindu mythology, once Lord Vishwakarma was told to make three temples in one night. These three temples are identical in design and incorporates a small pond with it. The only difference is the absence of fourth side wall of the pond at Devkund, which Lord Vishwakarma could not complete as the Sunrise occurred.In modern times those three temples are located at Deo, Deokund and Umga in Bihar. Two of these three towns i.e.Deo & Umaga have Sun temples and Deokund has Lord Shiva temple. About 500 years ago this was the penance place of Rishi Chyawan. The site is recognised as mediation region of Chyawan Rishi. Here he got his eyes damaged accidentally by princess Sanyukta who later became his wife. Ashwini Kumar came here and blessed the rishi and gave him the formula of ChyavanPrash. The shivling which he made out of Kasauti stone (touchstone) is still here and is called Chaywaneshwar Shivling and the temple was created by Lord Vishwakarma in one night.The famous Chhath festival of Bihar originated from here as his wife started observing it for the first time.
The Ashram of sage Chyawan is still a remainder Akhand Dhuni (A place where the Saint used to continuously burn a log) of sage Chyawan is still in existence, Where fire was not lit again.
The Samadhi of Bal Yogi is also in front of Akhand Dhuni. People of this region still come in front of that, Samadhi and sit there to settle their disputes .They believe that the soul of the said yogi is still alive and he gives justice. As such the people of this region take an oath before him and leave their disputes to Balyogi.The people of this region save faith that justice will be done sure. Thus disputes are settled here ever in the present age.
