The Baleshwar Temple is built on South Indian sclupture and architecture with magnificent Stone Carving works.

The temple is believed to be built by Raja Somchand, the first king of the Chand Dynasty. Champawat was the capital of Chand rulers. In 1568, the capital was shifted to Almora. In early 17th century, the Mughals captured Champawat and destroyed the Baleshwar temple.
