The story goes that due to shortage of drinking water, long distances have to be travelled for collection of water. Fiara, the only son of a poor widow, happen to turn a flat stone and to his great delight and astonishment found a crystal clear source of water. This was kept a secret by the widow and her son. In time it was found by the villages that this water was found better and sweeter than other water source.

In the absence of any engraving or carving upon it, it is not known exactly as to who had erected it and when.
