Harishchandreshwar temple at Harishchandragad, Maharashtra State, BHARAT [India]

The temple that stands tall has been built by Zanz from the Shilahaar Family which was ruling Sahyadri and Maharashtra in the 6th Century AD. It was till 4th century to 9th century when the royal family ruled and many forts that were made in that time have now gained immense importance and also, during the Maratha rules in the 17th and 18th century.

Those who visit this temple are spellbound with its beauty. The Harishchandreshwar temple has some really fine art carvings sculptures made out of stones that dates back to the Ancient India. This temple stands at a height with 16 ms for the base. One can also spot those few ancient water tanks and caves. Also, it is said that the river Mangal Ganga originates from one of these tanks that are closely located to the temple. The top cover of the temple has a very north Indian touch to it.
