Barsur, Dantewada district, Chhattisgarh · 19.1372°, 81.3829°
A Shiva temple on the bank of the Buddha Pond near the Indravati river at Barsur, dated by a Barsur inscription of Shaka Samvat 983 (1068 CE). It was raised by Mahamandaleshwara Chandraditya, a chief of the Telugu Choda house serving under the ruler Dharavarsha, who also excavated the tank and bought a village from Rajadhiraja to endow the building work; its sanctum stands on a platform with a square pillared mandapa in front.
