Baleshwar Temple is an ancient hindu temple dedicated to Shiva, situated within city of Champawat in Uttarakhand, India. Built by the rulers of the Chand dynasty, Baleshwar Temple is a marvelous symbol of stone carving. It is believed to have been built in 13th century AD (1390 AD) by Garud Gyan Chand.
