Hot water is oozing out of the earth at many places in the village. Villagers have made special baths (public bathrooms) where tourists can also take dip. Local mahila mandal of the village also has formed a society and is running a bath with clean rooms. The water is too hot to take dip, so cold water is mixed with the water.
