Birsingpur is a really old town quite rich in the history. It is believed that a guy named Birsingh had visions of the goddess Birasani Devi lying in the pond near by. These visions later resulted in an extensive search of the Birasani Devi's idol in the pond. The Idols were found and later established in the temple known as Ma Birasani Devi Temple. The town was named after Birsingh and known to all of us as Birsingpur.
