The temple at Haradih dates back to the 12th Century, and is built in the terracotta style. The influence of the Bishnupur style of architecture is quite eminent.
The village of Haradih is on the way to Muri, 55 km from Ranchi. The area was famous for terracota temples, some of which are in ruins today. Beware of the road once you leave the highway;its rough and in need for repairs.
