English: Nachna is a small remote village in the hilly forested terrain of Panna district of Madhya Pradesh. It is sometimes locally referred to as Kachhagawan. It must have been a prosperous, major town in ancient India given the wealth of temples and archaeological remains found in and near here (Nachna–Kuthara–Lakhorobagh). It is one of the notable, much published Gupta and post-Gupta era sites in India, sometimes referred to as Nacha-Kuthara or Kachhgawan site. The artwork and temples found here, together with other Gupta era sites in India, have provided insights into Gupta era Hinduism and Jainism, the development of Hindu temple architecture in the 5th and 6th century, firmer dating for Hindu and Jain iconography throughout Indian subcontinent, and a window into Indian culture during the Gupta Empire era. Nachna site has been a source of historic Jain artwork including Tirthankara images, in the Sanchi style – so much so that many casually may call it a Buddha, though it is a Jain artwork. Most of these have been relocated to museums, and copies placed near and in the caves. Photographs of the 6th-century Tirthankara originals found near Siddh ka Pahar hilltop site in Nachna can be seen in Joanna G Williams (1982), The Art of Gupta India, Princeton University Press, Plates 146 to 148 (discussion on pp. 109).
