BALESHWAR TEMPLE

 Baleshwar, 76 kms. from Pithoragarh, situated at Champawat is the most artistic temple of  the   district.  There are  evidences that the  group  of    temples  dedicated  to  Baleshwar, Ratneshwar and Champawati Durga were built by the early kings of the Chand dynasty. The temple once had intricate structural features and a  sanctuary with a mandap. The intricate  carving still visible on the ceilings of these temples is an evidence of their ancient glory and artistic excellence.

 

   

The very first story of his first book (Man Eaters of Kumaon) is related to Champawat.
