Kamleshwar Mahadev Indergarh
The temple is said to have been built between seventh and ninth century. According to popular belief the Pandavas during the period, they spent incognito, built this temple. Afterwards in the year 1345, this was repaired and renovated by Raja Jait Singh.
The Shivalingam is of red stone. Daily worship and ritual Pooja is performed by the Nihang Naga Sadhus of the Nath cult. Naga Sadhus in fact are the warrior sadhus who lived and moved collectively and they were quite deft in handling of weapons. The primary aim of the Sadhus was to protect this seat they belong to from the attacks of the invaders.
