TEMPLE

The Sanctum Sanctorum of the Sidh Peeth is a natural Cave shrine called as 'Gufa'. The architecture follows the 'Shikhara' style in new temple was built later alongside the Shiva temple towards the 'Charan Paduka'. An ancient 'Radha Krishna' temple in dome architectural style also beautifies the surroundings nearby. "Bhartrihari and Sidh Durga Temple" are also prominent constituents of the temple complex.

In addition to main Deity, the images of other Hindu Gods and Goddesses also grace these temples. A mound, below the 'Gufa' called as 'Thara' - is the main worshiping site of the 'Sidhpeeth'. Thus, the architectural design of the buildings in the temple complex is of 'Shikhara' and 'Dome' style. Other archeologically important places in the temple complex include 'Langar Bhawan' alongside Bhartrihari temple and the 'Matha'- about one kilometer from the 'Gufa'.
