Legend has it that there was a Brahmin who lived on the nearest mountain that allowed the fort to be built under the condition that it must not obscure the place of prayer to the sacred, making it blessed with protection. However, the son was neglected in this contract. He set his sights on building the fortress after his father died till the fortress blocked the sunlight. This made the blessing transform into a curse eventually.
