This temple is so famous in the region that people from the nearby villages throng to it to offer prayers to Lord Shiva particularly on the occasion of Mahashivratri and Shravan Masa as per Vikram Calendar.
These people used to provide maximum benefit to the farmers by eating the rodents which were hugely detrimental to the crops and by making themselves available as agricultural labour.
Still, a vast majority of the people are yet to get any benefits arising due to modern development as they have been traditionally kept in such darkness by the higher communities who never cared to uplift them.
Many extremely backward castes, Dalit and Mahadalit communities are landless, only supplying agricultural and other manual labour to the village.
Gauri Pundah is selected under the Rajiv Gandhi Gramin Vidyutikaran Yojana (RGGVY) to ensure rural electrification of this village.
Beyond matriculation, villagers go to Fatuha or nearby towns like Bakhtiarpur or Patna the capital city of Bihar.
Gauri Pundah is proposed to be connected through roads to Daniawan and Fatuha markets via Nimi and Suranga Par villages respectively.
Recently, the village was surveyed for establishment of a rural healthcare centre and a bridge on river Mahatmain by the local administration.
