The history of the name Kasmar and Garga is as follows The famous Garg Rishi (saint) used to stay here in his Ashrama. And the river Garga was originated by himself with the grace of god. It was the time when the whole country was fed up of the oppression of the notorious king 'Kansa' (maternal uncle of Shri Krishna, a Hindu deity) of Mathura during the time of 'Mahabharata' war. So the great Maharishi Garg decided to sacrifice 'yagya' in order to kill 'Kansa'. Due to that the name of the place became Kansmar (to kill 'Kansa').
