The village of Kother is situated 4 km away from Achhabal. The name Kother is known after the spring of Papsudana-Kapteshwar-Shiva, an appellation of Shiva. King Bhoja of Malwa in the time of Ananta (AD 1028-63) got a circular tank constructed for which he sent heaps of gold. King Bhoja vowed that he would wash his face with the water from the tank which he considered pious and holy. The legendary tank as of today is in dilapidated condition and its side walls have also fallen down. By the side of this tank, there are two little shrines now in ruins which appear to have been built, subsequently.
The bigger shrine faces southwest and its roof is missing. It is 2.50 m square internally and the doorway is 1.10 m wide and 1.80 m long. From the soot deposit, it appeared that the temple was set on fire. The brittle stones, the missing roof and the fallen architectural members offer mute testimony to its destruction.
The smaller shrine faces west and is 2.00 m square internally. The ceiling of the temple is in dilapidated condition and composed of intersecting squares. The erosion of the soil from the sides of the temple has exposed its lower mouldings but still,l the greater part of the plinth is buried in the ground.
A considerable area around the spring and the temples was enclosed by a wall made of rubble stones and measured 3.60 m in width. Towards the north, the extant wall measures around 60 m1.
