Itinerary

Mitawali Temple

one hour Admission included

Located approximately 30-35 kilometers away from Gwalior, Mitawali offers a delightful deviation for travelers seeking a novel experience amidst India's millennia-old heritage. The Chausath Yogini Mandir, or Temple of 64 Goddesses, stands as a unique architectural marvel reminiscent of the Indian Parliament. Its circular courtyard, featuring Lord Shiva at its heart and surrounded by 64 small chambers, provides a fresh perspective on temple design, diverging from the conventional structures we are accustomed to encountering.

Located just 5 kilometers from the Mitawali Temple stands Padhavali, a sanctuary devoted to Lord Shiva. Dating back to the 11th century, Padhavali showcases intricate carvings depicting the divine trinity of Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesh, symbolizing the essence of Hindu mythology and spirituality. This sacred site holds the distinction of being dubbed "Mini Khajuraho," underscoring its significance in the realm of cultural heritage.

1 h 30 min Admission included

Nestled near the Padhavali Temple, the Bateshwar Temple complex stands as a tribute to Lord Shiva, with its origins tracing back to the 6th to 10th centuries. Recently refurbished by governmental efforts, these temples offer a journey off the beaten path, once shadowed by the infamous presence of dacoits and bandits in the region. Now, with those turbulent times long gone, visitors have the privilege to explore these sacred grounds.

Dedicated to the divine trinity of Shiva, Vishnu, and Shakti, representing the core traditions of Hinduism, Bateshwar Temple complex resides within the fortified embrace of the Chambal River valley. Perched on the north-western slope of a hill near the revered Vishnu temple, these temples embody the spiritual essence of the medieval era. Constructed between the 8th and 10th centuries, the Bateshwar temples have undergone meticulous reconstruction under the auspices of the Archaeological Survey of India, restoring their former glory from the ruins of time.
