The Akaladevi temple is of key interest in the Dedh Gaun area due to its religion significance . Local legend has it that the place where the temple is located has a boulder alongside it. The boulder was thrown by a shepherd across to a field below but the next day the boulder was back to where it was. Believing that the boulder came back due to a form of super natural power, legend has it that the temple of Akaladevi was constructed to honor the super natural power in the Dedh Gaun area. The temple which is only confined to the four wall does not have a roof and is believed to be more than 200 years old. The temple has a 45 kg bell in its premises. A special prayer is held annually on the full moon night during the month of April locally known as Gujeri purnima. Believing that wishes and aspirations will be fulfilled if people whorship and make offerind at the temple, people from across Nepal but mainly from neighboring districts of Kaski, Tanahu, Syangja, Palpa, Chitwan and Gulmi come to this temple.
