While going from City Palace to Airport Road, on the left hand side of the hill, I saw the ancient temple and stone gateway asked the driver to stop the car and my happiness was at its peak. I was stunned to see an important historical Gate called Debari Darwaja, Sri Rajarajeshwar Mahadev Temple, Unique Step well, three cenotaphs and ruins. As such, their historical importance and faith was lost somewhere due to ignorance though managed by Eklingji Trust.
