The Chamunda Devi Temple is one of the most frequented worship centres in the region, dedicated to Chamunda Devi, a manifestation of Goddess Durga who killed demons like Chanda and Munda, according to Hindu mythology. The shrine was built by Raja Umed Singh in 1762. The attractions of the shrine are animal and floral motifs carved on the ceiling. Some of the other highlights of the shrine are the wooden construction and gabled roof of slates. Tourists can have fairly well views of the picturesque township, down the hill, from the top at the temple. Chamunda Devi Mandir is dedicated to Goddess Kali, the Goddess of War.
