Harishchadragad, the hillfort of #Ahmednagar has an interesting story worth exploring! #Harishchandragad is one of the very old hillforts of #Mahrashtra. It has a mention in the holy texts of India including the #Matsyapurana, #Skandapurana and #Agnipurana. The hillfort is said to belong to the 6th CE whereas the caves were carved in the 11th CE. It is also said that the great sage who created the epic tatvasaar, Sage Changdev meditated here in the 14th CE. ⁣ #KedareshwarCave - As you move towards the Harishchandreshwara temple is the beautiful cave of #Kedareshwar. This cave has a 5 ft tall #shivalinga and is rather hard to get to because of the icecold water it is surrounded by. The pillars here are said to have a peculiar meaning. The four pillars symbolize the four Yugas, 'Satya Yuga', 'Tretha Yuga', 'Dwapara Yuga' and 'Kali Yuga'. Each pillar breaks by itself at the end of each Yuga!
