There is a small circular depression 'Amber Lake' at a distance of around 700 m from the main lake, believed to be caused by a fragment of the main meteor. There is a Hanuman temple near this lake, with the idol made of rock believed to be highly magnetic

One of the surrounding temple is Daitya Sudan temple. It was built in honour of Vishnu's victory over the giant Lonasur लवनासुर 😱
