According to the Hindu mythology,the place is associated with Mahabharata as the five Pandavas are believed to have stayed here during their exile for one year i.e. their 13th year in order to hide from Duryodhan. It is a local saying that every day pandav used to dig a kund for generation of water. Some of the kunds such as Draupadi kund, Dhara Mandal etc. which are also called baolis in local language, are still available. In the month of April, a large number of people gather here to celebrate Baisakhi Utsav and these pilgrims take a dip in the holy water of Dhara Mandal and other baolis. The place was then known as Panchpura, later on named Pinjore.
