The temple serves as a center for learning and spiritual enlightenment, hosting an annual fair that attracts thousands.
- Buddha Vihara: A relatively modern addition to the city’s landmarks, this Buddhist temple and spiritual center features traditional architecture inspired by Ajanta and Ellora caves.
