Baleshwar Temple, Hindu temple complex in Champawat, India

The Baleshwar Temple contains three distinct shrines dedicated to Shiva as Baleshwar, Ratneshwar, and Champawati Durga, each displaying stone carvings on their exteriors.

Built in 1390 by Garud Gyan Chand of the Chand dynasty, the temple underwent reconstruction between 1420 and 1427 under rulers Uday Chand and Hari Chand.

The temple compound hosts a major gathering during Mahashivratri festival, where devotees from surrounding regions participate in religious ceremonies and celebrations.

Located near the district hospital on NH125, the temple remains open from 9 AM to 11:30 AM and 5 PM to 8:30 PM, with photography prohibited inside the premises.

A traditional freshwater resource called Naula stands next to the temple, representing the historical water conservation methods of the Kumaon region.
