The main temple is dedicated to Shiva as Baleshwar. Black
granite Shivling with a small five-hooded naga forming canopy is worshipped in
the main shrine.
The main temple was constructed by the Chand dynasty during
the 14th century.
The main attraction of the temple is its architecture.
Magnificent stone carvings of gods, goddesses, demons, apsaras, elephants,
peacocks, horses, lions and other beings from Hindu scriptures make the temple
unique in the region. The sculptures have striking similarity to Solanki –
Vaghela architecture of Gujarat .
The temple is also noted for erotic sculptures on its outer
walls.
Many of the small shrines in the complex have lost outer
structures. There are just carved pillars and the Shivling.
The most important festival in the shrine is the
Mahashivratri.
