Dense woodlands cover the spot and have an unperturbed natural ambiance. The image that the falling cascade creates being in the middle of a forest is enchanting. It creates a dazzling rainbow at the bottom when falling from such a height.

The temple is a holy place for devotees, who visit there to worship Ma Tarini and seek her blessings. They offer coconut to her as a symbol of their devotion. The temple is surrounded by hills and green trees, which create a tranquil and positive environment. There are also waterfalls and small streams flowing by, which enhance the beauty of the place.

So many legends are entwined with the site, one of which is related to the king of Keonjhar. He was bringing Ma Tarini from Puri to his kingdom. He was instructed not to look back at her until he reached his destination. However, he heard a bell ringing behind him. He stopped at Ghatgaon and turned back, only to find that Ma Tarini had stopped there too. She liked the place so much that she decided to stay there, and thus the temple was built.
