About this place
Harishankar Temple is a historic 14th-century shrine situated on the southern slope of the Gandhamardan Hills in Balangir district. Built under the royal patronage of Queen Durlabha Devi of the Chauhan dynasty, the temple is unique for worshiping a deity that represents a synthesis of Lord Shiva (Hari) and Lord Vishnu (Shankar), reflecting a traditional syncretism of Vaishnavism and Shaivism.
