2.Old Temple of Thakurji:

(a)An ancient big temple of Thakurji situated at southwest of this village.I am seeing it since last 50 years,appears to be too old one. A commitee for the renovation of the temple has been set up by the volunteers. Renovation work is yet not completed due to lack of funds. Renovated temple architecture gives grand look to the viewers. An old primary school is being run by UP Govt nearby.A big tank was made but due nonmaintenance almost dried.View of crop fields can be seen during harvesting seasons.

(b) Statue Lord Vishnu is made of asta Dhatu seems to appear of olden times. A poojari is there to look after the temple.
