Because of the Madho Singh Bhandari, the 'Maletha Ka Sera' remains a means of livelihood for thousands of people today. In the 17th century, Madho Singh made a tunnel canal by cutting the mountain nearly 150 meters. Chandrabhaga river flows near the village itself, the water of the river was released on the canal, but the river's water was not moving beyond that tunnel. Seeing this, Madho Singh Bhandari got disturbed. On one night, his Kuldevi appeared in Madho Singh's dream and they said that the water in the tunnel would come only when he will give his only son Gaje Singh's sacrifice offer at the mouth of the tunnel. One day, Madho Singh took his only son to near the tunnel and offer sacrificed his. At the same time, water from the tunnel reached the village.
