Architecture
The temple of Lord Shankara (Shiva) is situated in the heart of the city on a hill called Pahari Mandir. It is a bare black land outcropping in the midst of a flat land.This temple is located at 2140 feet above sea level and 350 feet above the ground. To reach the temple one has to climb 468 steps. The hillock also known as Richi Buru is famous for its breathtaking views of the city and some spectacular sunsets and sunrises. At the foot of this hill is the beautiful Ranchi Lake. The lake was dug by a Britisher; Colonel Onsely in 1842 is frequented by all visitors for its beauty. The lake is flanked by two temples and a pillared bathing ghat where tourists heading to the Pahari temple take a dip before proceeding to climb the steps of the hillock. The real name of this beautiful embedded old shiv mandir which is about 300 ft. high is 'Richi Buru'. The temple built on top of Ranchi or Fansi hill can be reached by climbing a flight of steps, numbering a few hundreds.
History
Pahari Mandir was built in 15th century A.D.
