This aala was found in a residence in Thathera Mohalla, a neighbourhood in Rewari city, where metal craftspeople lived. A shrine of Lord Bherunath, a local god worshipped by the craftspeople, was made in this aala. A layer of soot had accumulated on the wall surface due to the lamps lit every day, while offering prayers.
