According to another ancient narrative reference, Chandrabhag, the daughter of a sage, caught the attraction of the Sun God by her magical charm. The God came down to seek her hand in love. Chandrabhaga did not offer herself to the God. Maddened by romantic pangs, the God chased after a frightened Chandrabhaga, who jumped into the river and killed herself, thus succeeding in protecting her chastity. As a mark of tribute to her sacrifice, every year on the 7th day of the full-moon fortnight of Magha month, people from all over the state and outside gather to take a holy dip in the river that is reduced to a shallow pool, to offer their prayers to the Sun God and to enjoy the sunrise.

Beautiful place ,the most beautiful scene is sunrise and sunset .

Peaceful beach. Not that much crowded. Haven't got time to visit the temple.

Earlier, the Chandrabhaga river existed here which dried up into a pond today just ahead of the sea beach. The pond and the adjacent temple is a holy place as a place for pilgrimage on the night of Saraswati Puja every year as the water level is highest on that day. The sea beach is beautiful.
