Shri Mahaldhani Dadosa baoji Temple[edit]
The local historical tale has it that "Shri Dadosa baoji", who used to rule the area, sacrificed his life in a battle with enemies. His head fell near the "Kot". But he still kept fighting, and his body fell almost a kilometer away after killing many more enemy soldiers. There are two temples devoted to him. First, the main temple, inside the "Kot", where his head fell, and the second, the smaller temple near the "Sapasar talav" (a pond), where his body fell.
