==History and Legend==
The legend has it that a local ruler Shyam Dev Khinchi's wife Bhagali Devi left the palace after felling out with him and took shelter with Amara Singh Gurjar, a local chieftain. When Shyam dev was later killed in a battle, the queen ordered to make temple of lord Krishna in memory of her husband and Amara Singh Gurjar was anointed the head priest of Shyam kaka temple. Since then (1844–45), the [[Gurjar]]s claim to have been priests of the temple.<ref name="Shalinirainarayan2009"/><ref name="Shalinirai2011"/>

According to author Shalini Rai as told by 2009 A.D. head priest of the temple-Saajan Singh Gurjar, once six men from [[Arabia]] were said to visit the place during the construction of the temple. The legend further goes that the Arab visitors argued with the then temple priest, Amara Singh Gurjar, on the superiority of their faith. They opined that [[Mecca]] and [[Medina]] were the holiest places on the earth. It is said that Amara Singh Gurjar offered them to take to the two holy cities within the temple premises. The Arab visitors challenged the priest for the same.<ref name="Shalinirainarayan2009"/><ref name="Shalinirai2011"/>

What followed, according to legend, was a divine revelation of Mecca and Medina in the temple complex. The Arabs were said to have offered prayers right there.

The panel showing the six [[Arab]] men said to be installed as a tribute to this incident.

The temple has been declared a protected site by the ''Archaeological Survey of India''.<ref name="Shalinirainarayan2009"/><ref name="Shalinirai2011"/>
