The shrine of Goddess Shiva Bhagwati is situated at the top of the village near the foothills of a big forest full of Devdar trees and pastures. The temple is at a distance of about 250 meters from main chowk Akingam and 100 meters from G H S S Akingam . It is the only one of the four shrines in the state of Jammu and Kashmir that has been assigned a chunk of forest land as Jagir which stands within its revenue records.

Every year the day of Bhagwati ji is celebrated with religious zeal and fervour. Kashmiri pandits come from different parts of country to celebrate this day. But this celebration has lost the glamour it used to have in the past .[2]
