there is an ancient cave temple named Devi Point. The temple is located by the bank of one of the lakes called Shakkar Talav, and the resident deity has no name and is known simply as 'Devi'. An underground cave temple, supposedly formed naturally, has water drizzling from its roof all through the year. Until a few years ago, the temple was completely natural, devoid of any modern paraphernalia like tiles. The tank had sweet water, hence the name Shakkar or Sugar Lake. Now used for boating.
