An ancient Shiva temple. It is said that the temple was built in ONE NIGHT.
It was having stones with carvings. Lot of the stones were stolen and smuggled to foreign countries. Later, local MLA Shri. Ajay Singh took an initiative and the temple was renovated to some extent. Some stones were introduced in the original structure to fill the voids created by stolen stones. These stones can be identified as they have no carvings in them.

Another incident associated with temple is that the caretaker (Pujari) was killed and his dead body was found near the temple. It is said that the smugglers murdered him as he came to know about some local BIG NAMES involved in the crime.
