Bateshwar Temple complex has the largest cluster of temples in India, around 200. Aihole in Karnataka comes next with 120 temples. Temples here are dedicated to Shiva, Vishnu and Shakti Devi that represent the three major traditions of Hinduism. The Bateshwar temples were built of sandstone by Gurjara-Pratihara dynasty in Nagada architectural style between the 8th and the 10th century. It is believed these small temples were constructed as act of thanksgiving by well-known personalities during that period. This region was devastated by an 18th-century earthquake and was overgrown with dense foliage. For many years this place served as a refuge for dacoits from the notorious Chambal Valley, a legacy that persisted until the early 2000s. In 2004 Shri KK Muhammed, a renowned archaeologist, could successfully negotiate to evict them from the place. Serious renovation and restoration work is on under his guidance. They could successfully rebuild 80 of the estimated 200 temples in the site. #mptourism #madhyapradesh #heartofIndia #IncredibleIndia #livewhatyoulove #passiontrails @mptourism @timespassiontrails #bateshwartemples #bateshwar #morenamadhyapradesh #knowyourhistory Bateshwar Hindu Temples
