There are not any historical manuscripts that date the Baleshwar temple; however, it is believed to have been built between the 10th and 12th century AD.<br /> <br /> ==Overview==<br /> The main Baleshwar temple is dedicated to [[Shiva]] (who is also known as Baleshwar). There are two other temples in the compound of Baleshwar, one dedicated to Ratneshwar and other to [[Champawati]] [[Durga]]. Close to the Baleshwar Temple is a &quot;Naula&quot; ([[freshwater]] resource). On the day of [[Mahashivratri]], a very crowded fair is held in the Baleshwar Temple compound.<br /> <br /> &lt;!-- Image with unknown copyright status removed: [[File:Baleshwar2.jpg|thumb|right|Stone Carving work in Baleshwar Temple]] --&gt;<br /> The exteriors of Ratneshwar and Champawati Durga temples are carved with the different posters of the local deities.<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> {{commons category|Group of Baleshwar Temples}}<br /> * [https://web.archive.org/web/20151128011626/http://www.himvan.com/gallery/Flash/Pratinidhi%20Devalaya/Baleshwar/index.html Baleshwar Temple Photos :: Himvan.com Photo Gallery]<br /> * [http://www.euttaranchal.com/photo_essay/baleshwar/baleshwar_temple.php Baleshwar Temple Photo Essay]<br /> * [https://web.archive.org/web/20140112145800/http://champawat.nic.in/pages/display/77-baleshwar-temple Champawar official website]<br /> <br /> {{Hindu Temples in Uttarakhand}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Hindu temples in Uttarakhand]]<br /> [[Category:Champawat]]<br /> [[Category:Shiva temples in Uttarakhand]]<br /> <br /> {{India-Hindu-temple-stub}}</div>
