फलाबारा

Falabara is a small village located at Tehsil Garhi in Banswara district Rajasthan. As per last Janganana (census) in 2011, the village has a total population of 600 to 700 people approx. It is famous for its ancient Lord Shiva temple that is known as a “Adhaishwar Mandir”. Long time before a cow dropped her milk on shiva-ling and this was very surprising for villagers. They saw this incident on a daily basis and after then all nearby villages [chokla] decided to built a temple. At first Sant Rajender Prasad took care of this temple and made a Gau-Shala for cows. That time there were 60 cows and Mahatma took care of all cows. This temple looks very beautiful and create a deep impact on everybody's mind.
