As per a legend, Parmeshwar Tal is the tank where the Pratihara king Kirti Pal took bath and was cured from leprosy.
At one bank of this tank stood Lakshman Temple which has an interesting legend behind it.
It is told that one a group of pilgrims stopped near Parmeshwar Tal to take rest after a day long journey.
They were carrying an idol of Lakshman which they placed under a Peepal tree.
When they woke up in morning and tried to lift the idol, the idol did not move they tried various option but the idol did not budge from that place.
Taking it as an indication that the deity desired to be enshrined at that place, they constructed a small shrine around the idol.
This shrine stood today as Lakshman Temple. It is believed that this temple was built by seventh Bundela king, Anirudh Singh, however there is no proof to support this.
The main shrine has an idol of Lakhsman and Sheshnag inside, the latter is the main idol at present. There are two subsidiary shrines, having Radha-Krishna and Shiva images.
