Description: Dedicated to Bhuweneshwari, sister of Lord Vishnu, this temple is believed to be the holy abode of Jagannathi Devi. This shrine is regarded to be constructed 1500 years ago and its walls are decorated with beautiful carvings of different avatars of goddess Durga. According to legends, it is believed that once two girls were dancing on the tune of a shepherd boy’s flute. The boy caught hold of one of the girls and this was when goddess Bhuweneshwari revealed her true identity. The goddess agreed to stay in the village and thus the temple was constructed for her. Local style of architecture is reflected in the structure of this shrine, while the idols are designed according to Rajasthani style.

A visit to the lower Dhalpur Bazaar and Sarvari Bazaar is a must for shopaholics.
