On the bank of a pool in the west of the village is a small plain sandstone temple.

The portico, mandap, is incomplete. A writing on the lintel of the entrance door states that it was built in 1682 (Samvat 1739) in the time of Kunvar Shri Ravaji by a Bhatia named Vastupal, probably the chiefs manager.
