The area is adorned with three temples: the Bhagavathy temple stands at the mountain's foothills, while a Vana Durga idol resides a few steps below by a rivulet.
Following the discovery of a Shivalinga in 2016 near the goddess's sanctum sanctorum, consultations with astrologers led to the construction of a Shiva temple, spearheaded by the Poonjar royal family.
