Harila Jori is also known as Harihar Jori. It is situated in Deoghar district of Jharkhand in India. This site is well known for its Shiva Temple. It is at about 8 kms away from Baidyanath temple. The area was earlier full of Haritaki (Myrobalan) trees. The area is perhaps named after the trees. However, legends say that both Shiva and Vishnu met here and therefore this place is named Harila - Jori. This was also believed to be the place where Ravana handed over the lingam to lord Visnu disguised as a brahmin, and went for urination. A stream flows here and is known as Ravana Jori. The Shiva temple temple here was constructed by one Achintan Das. There is also a famous tank known as Shool Harini.
