The old British cantonment of Kemtee is nearby and a memorial to the dramatist Kalidasa is just along the road from the MTDC holiday resort which has a spectacular view of this town. The main attractions here are the Ram temple which is more than 600 years old, as well as the Jain temple which has some beautiful carvings and sculpture.

A cluster of temples exist here housing 'Shiva Linga' which Markandeya is believed to have worshipped. The cluster has an approximate 24 temples and the architecture strongly resembles that of the Khajuraho temples.
