Excavations here revealed a cluster of objects such as the images of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, terracotta figurines of seated women and a votive tank. These antiquities are believed to be the remains of an ancient fortified city dating back to Gupta and Mauryan periods. Points of interests include a museum.
