Places of interest

The village is a major pilgrim place for the followers of Hindu Mystique saint, Bajarangdas Bapa. Initially there was a hut dedicated to him which is now expanded into an Ashram.

There are two major fairs organized here annually, on death anniversary of Bajrandas Bapa and Guru Purnima.

There is a kund (well) near Bagdana called the Bagdalav kund after Rishi Bagdalav. Three small rivers unite closeby, and there is a temple at the point of triveni sangam called the Bagdeshwar. The Bagad river, which flows past Datha, rises near Bagdana.

All these places - the village itself, the rivers and sangam, the Bagdeshwar temple, Bapa's hermitage and ashram - are considered sacred by the followers of Bapa.
