The foundation of the temples was laid way back during the Gupta period (6th -9th century AD) . According to Legends, Temple was established by Pandvas during "Agyatwas" and also Janashrutis' are It was set up by Adi Shankaracharya. 
Interesting fact about Astadhatu idol "it changes its expression" sometimes"has a smiling face and sometimes a angry posture" the idol has such effect on the devotee that he take off his eyes from the idol. On both sides of the idol there is something written in Brahmi script.
Now Look at this wonder ! the Shiva Lingam present in the temple is wider than the doorway. It means Shiva Lingam was present there before temple was built. @hathyogi1 @desi_thug1
Look at these beauties of stone Architecture from Gupta Period. I am mesmerized why they are not speaking. @almightykarthik @LostTemple7 @desi_thug1
These are five stone temples/idols known as "Deols" representing 5 Pandavas, one beauty about these Deols is they are standing decreasing in size. May be Symbolizing Yudhishthra to Sehdeva. @NaanOfficialBC @VertigoWarrior #MyBeautifulIndia @vivekagnihotri

Built in the nagara style Mata Hateshwari and Shiva temples and the complex is surrounded by lush paddy fields on the banks of Prabbar river. Road to Hatkoti village is a typical Pahadi Style. @InstantKarmaaa @shivkatyayni777
