Navgrah Temple is by the site. The story that has grown around this temple is that the king Medini Rai had organized a weekly market to take place every Thursday on the main bazaar where farmers and craftsmen would sell their goods. To create a prosperous atmosphere whatever was not sold on the market day, he would buy himself. One day a sculptor came to sell an idol of the goddess Shani Dev, but no one bought it. As per the king's rule at the end of the market day he bought the idol. It was brought to the palace but the king ruled that the idol of Shani Dev should be placed and installed at the same spot where the sculptor sat to sell it and a temple be built there.
