Places of interest
There is a small temple with a single open entrance hall, mandap, one story high, with pyramid roof, three porticoes, and a spire-surmounted shrine. There are also some very curious monumental stones, paliyas, with spirited deep cut carvings on all four sides and with tops cut in the form of a temple spire. They have much in common with the more ambitions cupolas, chhatris, and seem to come between them and the ordinary memorial stones.[1]
