Khatushyam Temple

14 centuries ago the temple premises was covered with dense forest which was also a grazing land. Khudni often took her cow to graze there. The cow stopped giving milk one day and the routine continued for over a period of days until one day the cow left the sight of Khudni. When she found the cow it was shedding milk. When Khudni narrated the incident to the village folks they dug up the ground and found a lingam. After Khudni died, her remains were buried beside the Lingam and the people built a temple which they named "Khudneshwar Asthan". The temple got its name from the Muslim who found it.
