These idols are of either Pal or Gupta dynasty. Some of the remains of temple reminds the past glory of the place. Few of the idols are flown in the river by the villagers due to ignorance.Some of the idols are kept by them and they worship them as their KULDEVATA(family God).The villagers has kept the copper coins which were found in the area.Following are the places which needs a archeological attention: 1.Mahadev Mound: Along the bank of the river and south of the village a mound is situated which is called by local people it as Mahadev.The remains are only one fourth of its original form because mount was cut to make a primary school. 2.Remains of the Temple: Above the Mahadev mound the remains of an old temple can be seen.
