The Chauth Mata Temple is the most prominent religious site in the village. Perched atop a steep hill, the temple is accessible by climbing over 700 steps, making the journey both physically demanding and spiritually rewarding. The structure is built in traditional Rajputana style, featuring intricately carved pillars, domes, and a sanctum that houses the idol of Chauth Mata. Pilgrims from across Rajasthan and neighboring states visit the temple, especially during major Hindu festivals such as Karva Chauth and Navratri.
