Tradition
connects the place with Rishi Kardam who practiced penance
(tapasys) here for many years. His son Kapilamuni took
birth and composed Sankhya Shastra here. Its name is
said to have been derived from the tradition that Brahma
came here to attend the marriage of Kardam Rishi on
the back of a hans (goose). The sacred Saraswati is
said to have flowed by the place and Pandavas come here
and offered pinds to their forefathers.

The
village is located in the outskirts of Haryana and Punjab
Border and the place has a history of farming community
which have been sowing mainly wheat and rice during
the Kharib and Rabi seasons apart from gram, sesamum
etc. The villagers are very religious and take part
in various holy occasions. Also, the village is a perfect
blend of Hindu, Muslim and Sikh religious sentiments
as the people of the village believe in all the religions
and take part in the auspicious occasion of all the
