History & significance

A star-plan Shiva temple at Beed, its domed roof carried on twenty-four pillars and its niches filled with carved gods and goddesses. No inscription records its date; after the region passed to a Muslim kingdom a parapet was added on the roof for prayers there while Hindu worship continued below, and it was then known as the Khanqah Deval.
