Main sights
[edit]- Religious buildings
Buhana is an ancient devotional land. There are two holy hermitages (Ashrams): Dhoona Dhaloda[2] and Lihlay. There are also many temples: Ram Janki Mandir, Radhakrishna Mandir, Khemka Kuldevi Mandir, Shikharband Mandir, 24 Ka Mandir, Dakshinmukhi Balaji Mandir, and Maharana Wali Devi Mandir.[citation needed] The Pabuji ka Devara, built by the Raika community of Buhana about 200 years ago, is a live example of secularism where all the gods and goddesses of Hinduism, Peer Baba Mazar in Badbar (Muslims) and Crist Chabutra (Christians) are present. Both worship places, i.e., Baba Umad Singh ki Medi and Pabuji ka Devara, are still devoted places of worship by Hindus and Muslims. A piece of Gau-char bhoomi called bani measuring about 18,000 bighas under gram panchayat Buhana is a place for wildlife preservation that provides a livelihood to all communities of cattle breeders and a pollution-free environment to its surroundings. It is also available in Indian history that this Bani was a part of Chiman Rishi Ashram, which was located on Doshi mountain (Haryana), hardly 20 km away, and the famous brand of medicines still in existence, i.e., Chimanprass, was invented out of herbal plants of this Bani, which was a part of that Ashram, and also, the Pandavas of Mahabharat have spent a few days in this Bani. It has huge possibilities to develop a tourist place specially for wildlife lovers and herbal medicinal practitioners. Another secular place is Gogaji ki medi, which is well known as the god of snakes. Indeed, the Bani, Devra, and both Medi are the pride of Buhana. Recently, a Khadesari Baba has also made his presence in the bani for providing a supper Gaushala and a decent Asharam for the followers.
