Patharghatta Hill is situated about 13-kms northeast of Kahalgaon and faces the river Ganges just where the river resumes its easterly course. On the northern side of the hill are some rock sculptures dating prior to the 7th or 8th century A.D. They are known as the Chaurasi Munis (84 sages) but are supposed to represent scenes from the adventures of Lord Krishna and Rama.
The hill also contains five caves, the important of which is the Bateshwar cave. There is a temple of lord Mahadeva on the hill. This temple is of recent origin. At the time of Shivaratri a fair is held and large number of visitors come from all over the country to offer prayers.
