Varaha temple The serpent Seshanag is pedestal which also preserves the feet of the broken figure of the earth goddess (Prithvi). Its flat ceiling is carved with an exquisite design of lotus flower in relief. The shrine is built entirely of sandstone.

Lalguan-Mahadeva templeThis temple, situated 803 m west of the Chausath-yogini , is built on the bank of an old lake, called Lalguan-sagar. It is a structure of modest size and design roofed by a dilapidated pyramidal superstructure of receding tiers of Pidhas.
