There is a Radha Krishna temple, which was built by Raja Ram Singh of the Sibai (or Sapehiya) clan, known for its murals, dating back about two hundred years to a time when the village was the centre of an independent state. One of the palaces of Raja Ram Singh is also situated in this village. [2]

There is one more temple in this area named the Baba Bharthari temple situated in Gurnwar sub-village of the Dada Siba tehsil. It is on the top of a hill in the middle of the forest; the view of Dharamshala from here is beautiful.[citation needed]
