Survaya Ki Grahi is one of the ancient place. In those days this place was a Gurukul, what is now known in modern terminology as residential school. There are 3 beautiful temples and some residential place for the pupil to stay. The fortress around it was built at a later stage to protect it from invasions.
Out of the 3 temples one of the temple is for Lord Shiva. Other temples do not have idols at present. The temples are beautifully carved.
The place of stay for the Guru (Teacher) and his students is a simple double stories building. There is also a underground water source inside the fortress.
