  • 1 Air Force Station Arjan Singh (Panagarh Airport) (a few steps out of the Rarheswar Temple). The airfield was constructed in 1944 during World War II as a British Royal Air Force Airport. The airbase was used as a supply transport airfield from 1942 to 1945 by the United States Army Air Forces and as a repair and maintenance depot for B-24 heavy bombers.

  • 2 Bharatpur Stupa. An archaeological site with a large stupa. The stupa was built during the Pala period. The stupa was built by bricks and stones in the Pancharatha style, with a base area of 13 m2 (140 ft²). Unfortunately, only the base of the stupa is survived by the test of time. Eleven Buddha statues seated on Vajrasana in Bhumiparsha Mudras – all five fingers of the right hand extended to touch the ground – were discovered in this ruined stupa.

  • 3 Randiha. A picnic spot at the bank of the Damodar River. In 1932, the Anderson weir was constructed in the village, which resulted to the availability of irrigation facility in the lower Damodar basin before the advent of the Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC).
