• Nagar Fort / Naulakha Palace: The Naulakha Palace, also known as Nagar Fort, was constructed by Maharaja Shri Rameshwar Singh. The fort was significantly damaged by the significant earthquake that struck in 1934. After that, this building—which had once served as the royal family's residence—became a Khandahar, or relic of the past. After then, the fort was reconstructed. A Durga Bhawan and a Kali shrine can be found in the region surrounding the fort. A pond and a tower with seven storeys are located in the center of the Naulakha Palace. In addition, to the west of the Durga Bhawan is a structure with three courtyards.

• Uchaitha : Uchaitha is another village, rich in mythology. The Bhagwati temple, located in the Benipatti Block, is well-known for its devotion to Goddess Durga. This temple can be seen near the Thumne River. According to local legend, the legendary poet Kalidasa, noted for his works in Sanskrit, obtained the blessings of Goddess Durga at this particular location. This was due to the goddess being delighted with the poet and dramatist's dedication, abilities, and genius. The poet's library, or pathshala, is next to the temple. The Indo-Aryan style of the temple's building will impress fans of period architecture.
