In front of the Rajgarh Palace in Datia, the largest Shivling of the city is installed in the Rishala temple. The temple was built by King Shatrujit in 1824 Samvat. The height of the Shivling installed in the temple is about four feet. The Shivling in the temple is established at a height of about 14 feet from the ground level i.e. the second floor.
