Pali is a village in Korba district of Chhattisgarh, about 50 kilometers northeast of Bilaspur. East of highway 130 is a 9th-century stone temple with artwork of Shaivism, Vaishnavism and Shaktism traditions of Hinduism. Known as the Pali temple – Pali Shiva Mandir, Shiv Mandir of Pali – it was expanded and renovated in 11th and 12th-century with the 9th-century sanctum and structure intact. The temple is notable for its square sanctum and intricate carvings both inside and outside the temple. It is also notable for its uncommon octagonal mandapam. The temple and its artwork was badly damaged in Mughal era regional raids of expansion after the 15th-century. It was largely abandoned except for the devotion of yogis. British archaeologist rediscovered its significance and archival photographs of early 20th-century show a forest overtaking it. The temple has been restored. The temple sanctum is dedicated to Shiva and now a popular site for pilgrims on Maha Shivaratri.
