Ancient ruins of temples in Rishiyan, a place named so because of the belief that 84000 ऋषि used to live here. The place is important as ShriRam visited this this place on his way to Chitrakoot. I've also observed some spectacular hydrological enginnering seen rately. 1/n 
Here this one is most extant temple devoid of any deity. Stylistically it is similar to temples of region. I believe there were 3 such shrines with common Mandapa(like Trikuta temples of Hoysala). See the fineness of craftsmanship unfortunately most of it was smuggled.
Note rock cut sculptures of Ganesha and serene environment in Monsoons. See the ruins of temples scattered over a wide area. 3/n
Natural cave formation with rock cut ShivaLingam a place where BanaSura performed penance as per local tradition. In nearby area there are many ancient rock paintings depicting scenes of war etc (unfortunately couldn't visit). 4/n
Sarovar, Rishian near Mau(Chitrakoot)
Note steps going down to the water. Construction is huge. It was probably a dam like structure. I haven't seen anything like this in the region in my knowledge. The structure appears to be ancient or at least contemporary to temples ruins. 5/
