At the foot of the hill stands a Nau-Dhara shrine dedicated to Pulchowki Mai, the oldest goddess of the forest. The roof struts of the somewhat dilapidated three-storied pagoda are carved with figures of the Ashta Matrikas, one of whom is Pulchowki Mai herself. The three-storied pagoda shows severe signs of decay. Near by stands a small shrine to Ganesh. In front of the temple courtyard are two large tanks fed by water from nine outlets. The Nau Dhara (Nine Fountains) symbolize the nine rivers to which Pulchowki gives rise.
