The Mahadev Ghat is situated on the banks of the river Kharun, located 5 kms from Raipur. It is a highly revered shrine of the Hindus and the presiding deity is Lord Shiva. The Hatkeswar Mahadev temple was built in 1402 by Hajiraj Naik during the rule of Brahmadeo Rai, son of the Kalchuri king Ramachandra. Brahmdeo Rai's monumental script in Sanskrit is still preserved at the Mahant Ghasidas memorial museum.
