#BateshwarHinduTemples, near #Morena, #MadhyaPradesh, India The #BateshwarTemples (or #Batesara, #Bateśvar) are a group of nearly 200 sandstone #HinduTemples and their ruins in north Madhya Pradesh in post-Gupta, early Gurjara-Pratihara style of #NorthIndianTemple architecture. It is about 35 kilometres (22 mi) north of #Gwalior and about 30 kilometres (19 mi) east of #MorenaTown. The temples are mostly small and spread over about 25 acres (10 ha) site. They are dedicated to Shiva, Vishnu and Shakti - representing the three major traditions within Hinduism. The site is within the #ChambalRiver valley ravines, on the north-western slope of a hill near #Padavali known for its major medieval era Vishnu temple. #TheBateshwarTemples were built between the 8th and the 10th-century. The site is likely named after the Bhuteshvar Temple, the largest Shiva temple at the site. It is also referred to as Batesvar temples site or Batesara temples site. The #temples as they now appear are in many cases reconstructed from the fallen stones in a project begun by the Archaeological Survey of India in 2005. https://www.instagram.com/p/CIHcY2xh2iA/?igshid=lhr2ibu7rbki
