Mani Parbat is an ancient 65-foot mound steeped in Ramayana mythology. According to legend, a portion of the Sanjeevani mountain brought by Lord Hanuman fell here while he was transporting it to Lanka.

The hilltop houses a temple dedicated to Lord Rama and Sita and features an Emperor Ashoka era Buddhist stupa mound. During Sawan Jhula Mela (August), idols of deities are brought here on elaborate swings.
