Mr Rajaram,
You have started the abusing when you are in anger, while revealing truth about
the temple , you posted. You forget as you criticize other's posting, others
can write on your postings. You forget this aspect.
I am ashamed at your starting abusing in Tamil like Muttal paya, Moota,
Vatikettina muttal etc. Tomorrow without any shame you will write- Mr
Narayanaswamy has started Abusing.
Be cultured and try to behave better if you can. Other wise hear more abusing
by others.

Muttapaya- Narayanasamy out of "mooda -anager" called the temple authority
reports authenticated as a bluff; this idiot singapooran conveniently alters
the version exposing his vadikattina muttalthanam at 98. And all of you are
laughing succinctly without raising your voices. Go to that temple page where
the learned wrote smart things unlike the paramartha sishyan writing how to
travel. Thank u Muttal Shout from the roof and fall dead Thanks again for
making me so popular as KK made Cho. Thanks once again KR IRS 30125

Dear folks
"When you lie, lie creditably" is a very old saying.
The notorious master-bluffer and monumental liar K Rajaram ex-IRS 30125 lies
through his remaining teeth when he screedhes, screams and shouts:-
THIS ASPECT OF A CAVE WITH 4 LEGS OF DHARMA, FALLING INEACH YUGA AS BELIEVED;
NOW THE WEIGHT OF THE TOP ROCK WEIGHT IS SUPPORTED BY ONLY ONE LEG.
The obvious truth, of which the idiotic master-bluffer is abysmally unaware, is
that the entire cave was chiselled out of the rock, leaving the four pillars
standing.
No-one can swear that they were alive and kicking several yugams ago when cave
was dug or when the three pillars fell.
It is all wild and vile speculation on the super-bluffer and notorious liar's
part.

HarishchandraFort isa hill fort inthe Ahilya Nagar(Ahmednagar)district of
India. Its history islinked with that of Malshej Ghat, Kothale village and it
has played a rolein guarding and controlling the surrounding region.The fort is
quite ancient.Remnants of Microlithic man have been discovered here. The
various Puranas(ancient scriptures) like Matsyapurana, Agnipurana
andSkandapurana include many references about Harishchandragad.Its origin
issaid to have been in the 6th century, during the rule of Kalachuri
dynasty.The citadel was built during this era. The various caves probably have
beencarved out in the11th century. In these caves are idols of Lord
Vishnu.Though The cliffs are named Taramati and Rohidas, they are not related
toAyodhya.Great sage Changdev (one who created theepic Tatvasaar),used to
meditate here in the 14th century. The caves arefrom the same period.The
various constructions on the fort and those existing in the surrounding region
point to the existence of diverse cultures here. The carvingson the temples
ofNageshwar (in Khireshwar village), in the Harishchandreshwartemple and in the
cave of Kedareshwar indicate that the fort belongs tothe medieval period, since
it is related to mahadeva as a totem oftribes Mahadev Koli. They were
controlling the fortbefore the Moguls.Later the fort was under the control of
Moguls. The Marathascaptured it in1747.To the east of the temple is a
well-built lake called“Saptatirtha”. On its bank are temple-like constructions
in which there areidols of Lord Vishnu. Recently these idols have been shifted
in the caves nearthe temple of Harishchandreshwar. These Days many trekkers
have been responsiblefor the sad plight of this place] as they throw
plasticwastes and other things in the pond. 7 years back the waterwas potable,
and now it isn't suitable even to swim.(However, this wateris so cold in summer
that you can actually feel like you're standing in arefrigeration unit.)
THIS ASPECT OF A CAVE WITH 4 LEGS OF DHARMA, FALLINGINEACH YUGA AS BELIEVED;
NOW THE WEIGHT OF THE TOP ROCK WEIGHT IS SUPPORTEDBY ONLY ONE LEG. Kedar
Eshwar Cave.Local legend holds that when the fourthpillar breaks, the world
will come to an end.Towards the right ofHarishchandreshwar temple, there is the
huge cave of Kedareshwar (seepicture),in which there is a big Shiva Linga,
which is completely surrounded bywater. Its height from the base is five feet,
and the water is waist-deep. It isquite difficult to reach the Shiva Linga
because the water is ice-cold. Thereare sculptures carved out in the cave. In
the monsoon it is not possible toreach this cave, as a huge stream flows across
the way. Actually, this is theorigin of River Mangalganga.As can be seen from
the picture, there is a hugerock above the Shiva Linga. There were four pillars
built around the Shiva Lingato support the cave.Another interesting thing about
this place is that waterseeps into this temple from the four walls on a daily
basis. And owing to thewater being very cold, it's difficult toreach inside
too. The water continuesto seep in during all the seasons during the year.
During the rainy season the waterlevel in this cave becomes almost waist
high.This cliff faces west and looksdown upon the Konkan. It Provides views of
the surrounding region. The cliff hasan overhang, but has been climbed many
times. Sometimes a circular rainbow(the Brockenspectre phenomenon) can be seen
from this point. It canbe seen only when there is a bit of mist in the valley,
and the sun is rightbehind the person facing the valley. One Phenomenon that
can be observed at thisplace is the vertical cloud burst, in which the clouds
nearing the cliff getsucked into the pit fall area below andare thrown
vertically into the skyreaching more than 50 feet (15 m),creating the
impression of a wall that isrising straight from the edge of the cliff without
entering the landmass area.If you happen to visit this place inApril–May, then
throw your panama cap fromthe cliff and enjoy it rising high and falling back
on theplateau.Also known asTaramanchi. This is the top most point on the
fort(1429 meters). Leopards are seen in the forests beyond this peak.From here
we can have a glimpse of the whole range of Naneghat and theforts near Murbad.
From thisTaramati point, we can have a glimpse of fortstill Siddhagad near
Bhimashankarin the south and Napta twin peaks, Ghodishep(865 meters),
Ajoba(1375 meters), Kulang fort (1471 meters) inthe north near the
Kasararegion.These caves are spread out all over the fort.Many of these are
situated at the foot of Taramati peak and are the placeof accommodation. A few
are near the temple, whereas some are near the citadeland some far away in the
forests. A30 feet (9.1 m) deep natural cave is onthe northwestern side of the
fort,to the right of Konkan Kada. Many other cavesare still said to remain
undiscovered.This is a great antique construction, anddiverse artistic works
are seen on this. On the ceiling of the temple arecarvings. The main attraction
of the carvings here is the 1.5 m longsculpture of Lord Vishnuin the sleeping
posture, popularly known as"Sheshshayi Vishnu" in Marathi. It is rare and hence
holds a lot ofimportance. There are a lot of legends told about this sculpture.
There arecaves near the temple.This temple is a marvellous example of the fine
art ofcarving sculptures out of stones that prevailed in ancient India. It is
about16 m high from its base. Around this temple there are a few caves and
ancientwater tanks. The river Mangal Ganga is said to originate from one of the
tankslocated close to the temple. The top of the temple resembles construction
withthe north-Indian temples. A similar temple is situated in Buddha-Gaya. Here
wecan see many tombs, in which a typical construction isseen. These are built
bywell-finished arranging stones one on top of the other. There are three
maincaves near the temple. The cisterns near the temple provide drinking water.
Ashort distance away, another temple calledKashitirtha is located.
Thefascinating thing about this temple is that it has been carved out from a
singlehuge rock. There are entrances from all four sides. On the main entrance
thereare sculptures of faces. These are the faces of guards of the temple. On
theleft side of the entrance is a Devanagari Inscription, which is about
saintChangdev.Harishchandragad lies were the boundaries of Thane, Pune
andAhmednagar districts converge. There Are 4–5 known ways up to the fort, the
mostusual being the following ones: Theway beside the caves, where water tanks
areseen, proceeds further to Junnar Darwaja (entrance From Junnar). From here,
theroute goes straight to TolarKhind. Walking a few minutes from Tolar Khind,
wecome across a rock-patch on which railings are fixed. After ascending
therailings, we come to the plateau region on which less dense forests are
seen.From here, we have to cross 7hills and after a walk of 2–3 hours, we
reachthe temple ofHarishchandreshwar, the temple of Lord Shiva. Also there is
oneinteresting short route if one has to skip the seven hills. By this route,
youcan reach the temple in1 hour instead of 2 hours through seven hillsbut this
route goes through very very dense forests hence if you are in a group ofmany
people, this route can be tried. After climbing the rock patch from theTolar
Khind, follow the usual trek route going ahead and at one point, you
willencounter two ways one to the right goes to the temple through seven hills
andthe straight one goes below the Balekilla (citadel) through very dense
forestsand this route reaches to the seventh mountain directly. The third way
isspecially meant for hikers, which is via Sadarghat. One should board the
busfor Malshej Ghat and go to the village of Belpada via Savarne village on
theMalshej-Kalyan road.From here, the route goes through Saleghat. Here one
hasto climb a straight rock patch on which grips are provided. The temple
issituated at a height of about 1 km from Belpada. The total distance isabout
19 km. Thisroute is not very popular and less used. Trekkers areadvised to take
a guide and it is very slippery in the rainy season. There is another way to
reach Harishchandragad is from Pachnai village, a villageyou can reach by buses
or private vehicles. Buses coming from Rajur, Akole orfromKotul. From Kotul the
distance is 25 km with buses going everyhourtowards Pachnai & Kothale. From
kothale pachnai is 5 km away, youcan reach there by local transport.
Harishchandragad is 3 km away fromPachnai.To reach Harishchandragad you need to
go by foot. On this way there is asmall pond of pure natural water available at
that pond. The history of thatpond is that some years ago this pond provided
water for all cowboys who camefrom the nearest villages. Pachnai is surrounded
by mountains and in monsoon youcan get a visual of five falls from thebase.
The water tanks near the caves providewater all round the year for basic
needs. The Perennial stream running near thecaves is the major source for
drinking water.It is advisable to refrain fromdrinking water at the tank near
to caves. While in monsoon, there are a numberof waterfalls around the caves
which provide potable water. Potable water isavailable from the tanks which are
present in the temple compound.
