Places to visit
- Bhojeshwar Temple
: The Bhojeshwar Temple is known as the Somnath of the East. The highly carved dome has a spectacular ascent and is supported by four pillars. The two wonderfully sculpted statues that stand on either side of the delicately carved gateway ooze splendour. The lingam stands 7.5 feet tall and has a circumference of 17.8 feet. The architectural beauty of the lingam and the platform, set upon a gigantic platform and formed of three overlaying limestone stones, creates a one-of-a-kind appearance. The temple was never finished, but the earthen ramp that used to raise it to dome level still stands.
