MASARH

The only door leads to the main shrine which opens into Small mandap 8'X4', and on the same mandap on right side there is a Nandi and a small Shiva lingam. A number of images of other deities Ganesha, Saraswati and Vishnu, all very old, have also been preserved on the mandap.

There are a number of other broken images of various deities. Two broken figures beautifully carved with images of Buddhist and Brahminical deities are lying uncared for. Largely attended melas are held on Chaitra, Navami and Vijaya Dashmi at the Devi temple. A visit to Masarh gives the impression that time has stood still here and the relies liberally scattered about amply suggest the glorious days Masarh has had. It is a landmark now housing a Jain image of Lord Parasnath and a Shiva lingam on the same site.
