Sujata Kuti
Sujatha Temple is dedicated to a humble tribal woman named Sujatha, who offered pudding to Gautam Buddha.

According to legend, it is said that kheer was the first meal Gautam Buddha had consumed after years of starvation ever since he renounced the materialistic life including food to attain enlightenment.

So, a small temple is built here to remark that historical incident.
