History & significance

A brick-and-plaster temple on a stone plinth at Rajim, which Alexander Cunningham's 1884 report attributed to a merchant named Govind Lal some 250 to 400 years earlier. Its two rows of five mandapa pillars and the older doorframe are far older than the building, probably 7th-century work carried here from the ruins of Sirpur.
