Many palagans and jatrapalas have been written about the demon king Harish Chandra. Before his death, King Harish Chandra started constructing a Shiv temple but could not complete it. After his death, the temple work was completed at the initiative of the local Hindu community. In ancient times there were several statues, which are no longer there. There are many myths about the Shiv temple. If anyone takes away a piece of soil, bricks, or stones from this temple and surrounding area, the person dies of bleeding from his nose. When the renovation work of the temple started during the British period, the doors of the temple were suddenly closed when eight people working at that time entered the temple. Excavations were stopped, and no other renovation work was carried out after that. Every year 3 religious festivals are celebrated in the Shiv Mandir with grandeur. Apart from the temple, Harish Chandra village has the ruins of King Harishchandra's ancient structures.
