* [[Baba Bhola Shiv Mandir]] is a temple for worshiping Lord Shiva (Bholenath). A fair is held here twice every year on the occasion of Shivratri in both February and July where thousands of people come to worship renew their faith. There is an ancient story related to this temple, which states that about 60 years ago Lord Shiva's Shivling was discovered by a local Seth (Bania). The Bania and his wife lived in the nearby village of Ladayan. Many years had passed in their marriage but they had been unable to conceive children, which worried them. They visited many doctors and saints looking for a solution but received nothing but disappointment. One day they met a renowned saint who offered them a solution. He told them about a place in the village of Lilodh where Lord Shiva was present in the form of a big stone. The couple decided to go there to search for Lord Shiva. Despite a week of searching, they did not find Lord Shiva. They gave up and sat down. Then the god Bholenath showed his glory and a miracle took place. They decided to renew their efforts, searching everywhere except the bushes. Eventually they turned their search to the bushes where their eyes fell upon a stone projecting from the ground. With their eyes twinkling, they dug around the stone. After four or five feet down they still could not find the base of stone. They hadn't found an ordinary stone, but the Shivling in which Lord Shiva was present. The Bania wanted to build a temple there, but the landowner refused the request. The landowner himself tried to extract the Shivling, but his every attempt was unsuccessful; even his two oxen gave up and fell on the land. The next day the landowner's son lost his sight for no apparent reason. The landowner realized his error, apologized to Lord Shiva and permitted Bania to build a temple there. Bania built a small temple, which he and his wife visited every Monday to worship with true hearts. A year later, they were blessed with a child of a sharp mind. He brought the first 'Kawad' for the god Bholenath. Seeing this, many people began to bring 'Kawad', and the temple became known as Baba Bhola. Thus, it is said that fervent worshippers at this temple will have their wishes fulfilled.
