Towering sculpture of Lord Bajrang Bali is located at Agroha Dham Temple Complex in an ancient town AGROHA in the Indian state of HARYANA. It is situated in Hisar district in between Hisar city and Fatehabad on NH 10.
Agroha was the capital of legendary Indian King Agrasen. Maharaja Agrasen is widely believed to be contemporary to Lord Krishna. “Agrasen ki Baoli”, which is 60-meter long and 15-meter wide historical step well (water reservoir/bawdi/vav) on Hailey Road near Connaught Place, Jantar Mantar in New Delhi, was also built by the Emperor Agrasen during the Mahabharat Epic era.
The Agroha Dham temple is dedicated to the Hindu Goddess Mahalakshmi. The main temple is divided into three wings. The central wing is dedicated to Goddess Mahalakshmi, western wing to Goddess Saraswati and eastern wing to Maharaja Agrasen.
Shakti Sarovar is a large pond behind the temple complex. It was filled with water from 41 Rivers of India in 1988. A platform at the north-west end depicts the scene of Samudra Manthan. A naturopathy center is located near Shakti Sarovar, where treatment is done through Yoga. An amusement park with a boating site has been built near the complex.
Agroha Mound, locally known as Ther (Dher), is an archaeological site, located about 1.5 kms from the Agroha town, 20 kms from Hisar city and 190 kms from New Delhi. It lies on National Highway 10. Ancient structures, pot-shards, coins and seals have been found in archaeological excavations.
The Agroha Maha Kumbh festival is held every year on Sharad Purnima.
