In this tiny village there is one old temple of Goddess Amba. Around this temple Banjara people, who come here to attend the fair, erect their temporary tent.

Banjara ladies with their colorful dressing make a magnificent show. Banjara ladies have very liking for their artistic embroidery work done on their Kanchli or Choli. For this artistic work they use round or square pieces of mirror and they stitch on their Choli or Kanchli. This embroidery work naturally attract eyes of onlookers. Red, brown and green coloured Ghagra and Odhani of the same colour. This is their common daily dress.

POHRADEVI TEMPLE

Banjara ladies hang silver Topla in their hair. It seems very strange that each banjara lady knot several silver ornaments in their hair generally one kilo weight and even this weight does not disturb its hair style while moving here and there. Men wear Dhoti and shirt as their usual dress and you will find them smoking Bidies.

People believe that Goddess is very powerful. During a visit the devotee goes through the usual ritual of prayer, including vow. Once the wish is fulfilled devotees will visit temple again next year.
