This temple carved from a monolithic has some stunning sculptures and an inscription set by Rishi Changdev in Devanagari.


The fort was in the control of the Mughals in the 16th century before the mighty Marathas captured it in the 18th century. The great sage Changdev stayed at the fort spending his time in deep meditation in the temple and also wrote the famous manuscript ‘Tatvasaar’ in the 14th century. The temple is dedicated to Harishchandreshwar and built in the Hemadpanti style of architecture (style incorporating black stone and lime without using any mortar using the technique of mortise and tenon joint). All of them have idols of Lord Vishnu and the Harishchandragad Temple was also built along the same time. Locals say that the fort was built by the Kalachuri dynasty in the 6th century and the caves of Harishchandragad Fort are believed to be carved out in the 11th century. The carvings in Harishchandragad Fort and varied constructions in the surrounding area strongly suggests the existence of diverse cultures. This sacred place has also been mentioned several times in the ancient scriptures of Matsyapurana, Agnipurana and Skandapurana. It is believed to have conclusive finds of microlith (chipped stone used as tools) used by man about 35,000-3,000 years ago in the Microlithic Age.
