Durga Temple
Durga Temple, also nicknamed “Monkey temple,” was built at some point of time in 18th century. The temple got the name ‘Monkey temple’ because of the presence of large number of monkeys in the temple. According to legends, the present statue of Goddess Durga was not made by man but appeared on its own in the temple. Thousands of Hindu devotees visit the Durga temple during Navratri and other auspicious occasions. Non-Hindus can enter the courtyard of the Durga temple but not the inner sanctum.
