It is located on the ancient route from Kausambi to Puri. Malhar was one of the most important centres of art from the 2nd Century BCE. The village showcases significant archaeological remains. These unprotected remains from the debris of historical sites are used in private homes, displayed in streets, courtyards and in the construction of new buildings (such as in plinths and boundary walls). Sculptures are used as private temples and pooja areas such as the Tulsi base and courtyard temples. Few of the stone sculptures are displayed in the niches of external walls.
