Barsur, also known as Barsoor or Barasuru, was the capital city of the Chhindaka-Naga Hindu dynasty in south Chhattisgarh and nearby region over 10th to 13th century. They traced part of their origins in Karnataka and Gujarat–Sindh regions, with roots in central India Kosala and Telangana regions. They built many impressive Hindu temples for Shiva, Vishnu and Shakti traditions. The Mama Bhanja temple is one of these. It is dedicated to Shiva, stands on a molded platform, its sikhara (tower) is in the Nagara style. Notably, the temple has a Telugu inscription on the platform, thereby attesting to the Telangana/Andhra architecture and artwork cultural inclusiveness in this monument.
