Its a temple of Lauri Garh, history is unknown many folklores are there. Its a mysterious fort thats half built facing a beautiful artificial pond. The pond is now very shallow so is always dried up. There was a big elephant sculpture of single stone. Near this fort is very old temple of Godess Lokhari. During my childhood thats in early 80's I used to see wonderfull idols of different Godesses. Then one year I heard that those idols were stolen. I was always curious about this place and 2 yrs back I found a report on internet that those sculptures were smuggled to London and were to be auctioned by Sotheby Gallery. Before it could be auctioned they were lost and no one is aware what happened to them. They have gone missing mysteriously adding mystery to already mysterious fort.
