The place is named after the belief about lord Shiva that he shaded his matted lock here. The place is inside a cave. It was a belief that when the Shiva wanted to escape himself from the fear of Bhasmasur. he rested at this place. There is about natural 108 Shiva ling formed inside this cave. There is water opening from the cave which nobody knows that from where this water comes, it is known as ?Gupt Ganga?.
