Summary

edit
Description
English: The original archival photo of this Vishnu temple in Janjgir was taken in late 19th-century and published in 1906 by A.H. Nelson's report on Central Provinces of British India.

It is a 12th-century temple dedicated to Visnu at the western side of a small Bhima lake in Janjgir (Champa). Now partially restored and an active temple for pilgrims, it features the original intricate reliefs of Vaishnavism, Shaivism and Shaktism traditions of Hinduism. It is locally called as Nakta mandir or Nakata mandir.
