Ruins of a grand, magnificent & spectacular  2-3rd century BC ancient Lord Shiva temple, located in Bhuteshwar range of Himalayan mountains, in the backdrop of Mt Haramukh near Naranag Kangan Ganderbal Jammu & Kashmir. It is claimed that Kalhan the Great has written 'Rajatarangini', an account of history of Kashmir, staying in this splendid and sacred temple complex.

Let us watch the images of Lord Shiva Temple Complex closely to imagine the grandeur of architecture before its destruction and demolition.
