Bodhan is home to an ancient historical monument locally known as the Vanda Stambhala Gudi (“Hundred-pillared temple”), located in the Udmeer Gally area of the town. This site, now referred to as Deva Masjid, was originally been The Indranarayana Swamy Temple ( Hindu Temple) constructed in the 12th–13th century during the Kakatiya era. The pillared hall — noted for its numerous stone pillars — remains a prominent feature and is the reason for its local name. It was later converted into a mosque in the 14th century during the Delhi Sultanate period under Muhammad bin Tughluq’s expansion. The site is listed as a state protected monument under the Telangana Heritage Act.
