Harihareshwar temple

A quick trip to Harihareshwara temple is what we could squeeze in between the tight schedule we had packed for 2 days. And am glad we managed to make it happen.

Harihareshwara temple at Harihar houses diety Hari (Vishnu) & Hara(Shiva) half -n-half. Vishnu & Shiva came together to take the form of Harihara to end a demon by name Guha.
The road leading to the temple is a small town road...people lazying outside their houses. The temple is maintained clean and has beautiful carvings both inside & outside. Parts of it reminded me of "savira khamba da basati" and some parts reminded me of Belur temple. The temple has not compound wall..instead, is surrounded by small houses of pujari's who perform puja at the temple.
