Vishnudham Mandir (Hindi: विष्णु धाम मंदिर) is a temple on the border of the village Bherwania & Sadiha and Bhervania, where a statue of Lord Vishnu was found by a carpenter underneath a tree in 1998. The temple was constructed by local villagers and authorities, at the site of the statue. It is the largest idol of Lord Vishnu in north India[citation needed] made up of black granite and measuring 7.5 feet long and 3.5 feet in width. The idol belongs to the Gupta period.The idol has four arms carrying a "sankh(conch)", a "chakra(discus)" , a "gada (club)" , and a "padma(lotus)". There are two figures- one masculine and another feminine-below the left and right arms of the idol.An idol of goddess Laxmi was also recovered from the spot but it was stolen.
