There are many stories associated with this Bor namghar. It is said that the main piller of the namghar is made of a Sal tree. One night one of the bhakat(monk) of the namgahr saw in his dream that the river near the Bor namghar ( known as Dhekiyakhowa jaam ) is flowing in opposite direction and is carrying a Sal tree mean to be for the construction of the Bor namghar. Next day when people saw that dream to be true, they made the main pillers of the Bor namghar from the tree.
