Aurangabad features in traditional records. The Saint Chyawan spent his life in an Aashram (known as Chyawan Aashram) near Devkund village of HASPURA block in this district, and gives his name to a product of the area, called Chyawanprash.

The small village Devkund is also associated with an interesting mythological relevance. According to Hindu mythology, once Lord Vishwakarma was told to make three temples in one night. These three temples are identical in design and incorporates a small pond with it. The only difference is the absence of fourth side wall of the pond at Devkund, which Lord Vishwakarma could not complete as the Sunrise occurred. In modern times those three temples are located at Deo, Deokund and Umga in Bihar. Two of these three towns i.e.Deo & Umga have Sun temples and Deokund has Lord Shiv temple ( Baba Dudheshwar Nath). However the temple at Deo is the most popular for the celebration of a religious festival called Chhat puja.
