Summary
editDescription8th century Naresar temples, Madhya Pradesh 05.jpg |
English: The Naresar temples – also referred to as the Nareshwar temples – are a group of about 20 small to moderate sized Hindu temples about 25 kilometers north of Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh. These temples date from about the 8th-century, with some flat roof temples possibly earlier. This site is from the Gurjara-Pratihara era.
The original Naresar temples site was likely a larger collection of temples as the extant site evidences many empty temple platforms. Made from stone, these temples include Shaiva, Vaishnava, Shakta and Saura traditions of Hinduism. Some sanctums here are empty while many sanctums have a Shiva linga. Given the iconography on the lalitabimbas, the original dedication for some was likely Vishnu and Durga, for most others, Shiva. The Naresar site was likely one of the hubs of Shaivism in north Madhya Pradesh. The Naresar temples are notable for several reasons:
The site is a few kilometers off the national highway 44, yet rural and remote, set past a hiking trail. The Naresar temples are in four clusters near each other, along a scenic gorge uphill.
