  • This is a nice temple.I have lived here when I was on this fort.
  • one of the oldest temple of lord shiva. the best time to climb the Harishchandra gad is from 1st january to 29th february. Donot visit during monsoon unless you are regular treckers.The Stone Work seen on the temple is similar to lord shiva's temple at Ratanwadi near Bhandadara.
