village.
The Surla Road railway station is adjacent to a small mountain called Govardhangiri which is around 8 km (5.0 mi) from the main village. People in the surrounding villages believe that this is the same hill that Lord Krishna lifted up to give shelter and protect the herd of cattle from the fury of a storm created by Indra, the king of Devatas. People from Girisola, a nearby village, worship Krishna and Indra at a small pool of water ( which never dries) in the crevice of a big boulder on the hill. Perhaps this is the only place in the country where Indra Puja is carried out.
A road branches off from the national highway at Surla railway station. This beautiful road leads to Chikiti( ancient Svetaka) town. The temple of Bala Kumari ( a form of Durga) is located on a hill near here. One can go by car up to the hill top.
