The temple complex, rich in history and archeological details, is dated to the
Kalachuri period
(10th-12th centuries, one ruling over areas in Central India in west
Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and were called Chedi or Haihaya (Heyheya)
(northern branch)) with close identity with the sculptures found in
nearby archeological sites such as Janjgir, Kalachuri, Narayanpur and
Ratanpur sites. The brick temples were built during the rule of Pandus
and are similar to those built in Kharod, Palari, Rajim and Sirpur in
the state.

The temple complex, highlighted as a "scintillating poetry in stone", is credited to
Nagwanshi Kings who practiced
tantrism and who ruled in the then
Southern Koshal region, which is now the state of Chhattisgarh. Its construction is dated between the 7th and 12th centuries.
[6] As the
Gond Tribals
of the area worshiped Lord Shiva whom they called Bhoramdeo, the temple
was also named Bhoramdeo with the Shiva Linga deified in it.
