Rahreswar Shiva Temple

This ancient Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Shiva dates to the 12th century and was built by King Ballal Sen of the Sena dynasty. It has been declared a protected monument by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI). The most remarkable feature is the massive Shivalingam in the sanctum and a performance hall known as the Natyashala where religious events take place. The temple's antiquity and architectural simplicity make it a meaningful contrast to the modern city that has grown up around it.
