=== Khatushyamji ===
[[Khatushyamji]]'s temple, constructed of the famous [[Makrana]] marble, is in the heart of the town.
Veer Barbarik(Shyam Baba) is the son of ''[[Dwapara Yuga]]'' Ghatotkacha and Naag Kanya Ahilawati(daughter of Basak/Basuki Naag).[[Khatushyamji]] is considered to be the God of the ''[[Kali Yuga]]'' who shall perform incarnation (10th incarnation of Lord Vishnu) or an avatar, once the ''Kali Yuga'' is at its final stage, until then he was worshipped as KhatuShyamji. Shyamji is synonymous with Krishna and thus, he is worshipped in the same form. He is also known as khatu naresh(ruler of Khatu), sheesh ro dani (head donator), lakhdatar (one who gives after proper judgement), teen baan dhari(holder of three arrows), haarya ro sahhaaro (supporter of defeated), Ahilawati ro laal (son of Ahilawati), Pandav kul Avtar (Son of Pandav kul), Bhimsen ra Kanwar (son of Raja [[Bhim]]), leele ra aswar (rider of horse named Leela), baba shyam, etc. Shyam Baba is the community god of the Marwaris from the [[Dhundhar]], [[Shekhawati]], [[Bagad]], [[Ahirwati]] and [[Haryana]] area and is widely revered by many other communities also. People from all over India come to seek his blessings every year, with a large following from Kolkata, West Bengal, Haryana and Punjab
During the Mahabharat war between Pandavas and Kaurvas, baba Shyam (Veer Barbrik) came to the war field with 3 baan (arrows) and Shree Krishna, even knowing his potential asked him reason for his arrival at war field with only 3 arrows and asked to prove his capabilities by targeting all leaves of a Pipal tree(having uncountable leaves) with just one arrow and placed one leaf under his own feet. Baba took the bow and an arrow and made a hole in all leaves with one arrow and also hit the leaf under the foot of Lord Krishna. On asking to whom he will support in the [[Mahabharat]], veer Barbrik told that he will support the one being defeated. Then considering his such act to be against the Pandavas scope to win, Lord Krishna asked him that the war needs one stringent fighters sacrifice (only 3 such fighters being available – Krishan himself, Arjun and Barbrik), Baba offered himself for ultimate sacrifice and donated his head that's why reminded and worshipped in ''Kali Yuga'' as "sheesh ke daani & haare ka sahara", as announced by Lord Krishna and also the name Shyam was given by Lord Krishna.

====Gourishankar Temple====
This is a [[Shiva]] [[temple]] which is near [[Khatushyamji]]'s temple. There is a legend that the [[Mughal Empire|Mughal]] [[emperor]] [[Aurangzeb]]'s soldiers wanted to destroy this temple, and attacked the [[Shiva Linga]] with a [[spear]]. Fountains of blood appeared from the Shiva Linga, and the soldiers ran away, terrified. One can still see the mark of the spear on the Linga.
