There is a little sanctuary complex here. There are sanctuaries devoted to Shiva as Neelkanth Mahadev and Siddheshwar Mahadev. What's more there is a couple of sanctuary one devoted to Ranchor Rai - as Krishna is known in Saurashtra and one more to Shiva. What I enjoyed with regards to these sanctuaries is that they are made in run of the mill Nagar style sanctuary design and Panch-Ratan sub style and they are as they more likely than not been constructed. There are spaces for individuals to sit inside the sanctuary.
I thought that it is a tiny however amazingly serene gathering of sanctuaries.
