Once upon a time, there was a village on the upper hill. One day a big snake came out in the village. The villagers killed the snake and tried to drag it downhill. But it was impossible to drag downhill, and it was straightforward to pull the hill upward. The villagers took the snake up the hill and threw it. A pond has built itself in the place where the snake was thrown. After a while, a Jogi came walking around the village. No one gave shelter to that Jogi in the evening. Boju (grandmother) and her two grandchildren lived in a house on a hill a little higher. They were given shelter by Jogi. When Jogi left tomorrow morning, he said, "There will be a landslide in this village in the near future." "You should leave this village." Indeed, that grandmother and her grandchildren left the village. As soon as the landslide hit, the village was swept away. After a long time, the child of one of the two grandchildren crossed the river and settled down.

A girl child living in a village across the river was charming. That beautiful girl was abducted by Bandheva (the jungle pig) and married in the forest. After a while, a hunter came to the forest while searching for prey. One day, the hunter met that beautiful girl in the forest. The beautiful girl said that she was abducted and brought to Bandhewa. The hunter grew a smaller Simal tree and climbed to safety, sprouting a throne in the tree trunk.Then the hunter asked in detail about the Bandheva. What is his background?He used to go On the other hand, Bandhewa, knowing the smell of people, asked Sundari, "Who came here?" Sundari convinced Bandhewa that "no one has come." The hunter set a trap and killed Bandheba with a bow. Then the hunter married Sundari. The villagers sent their daughter-in-law to Ukhamba (vegetation) and established a village near the site of the previous landslide.The hunter and his wife, according to the villagers, had established a village in the landslide.
Even now, the village's name is a corrupt form of Ukhuwa, or "Wa" village.
