Architecture

The architecture and design of the temple seem similar to that of the Golden Temple of Amritsar. Bhuteshwar temple stands in the heart of a pond or a lake. The temple resembles an exquisite picture of a flower in a pond. Temple has a huge water tank surrounding it and this is the reason that the Bhuteshvara sanctuary is additionally distinguished as Rani Talab. The saying ‘ta-lab’ is a Hindi word, which implies lake.

Religious Significance

There is an interesting story behind the name Rani Talab. The queen of Maharaja Raghbir Singh used to take a bath in this pond every night. Hence, it is known as Rani Talab. The queen would reach the pond through a tunnel which is still present. Another famous folklore states that the purpose of constructing the pond was to provide a suitable bathing place for the queens of the king. This temple comes under the circular of the 48 kos of Kurukshetra.

History

Bhuteshwar temple was built by the ruler of the Jind district, Raghbir Singh. It is also said that the history of the Bhuteshwar temple dates from the Mahabharata period.
