Bhojeshwar Temple

11th-century Shiva temple

Located just outside Bhopal, the Bhojeshwar Temple is a marvelous 11th-century tribute to Lord Shiva. Often called the "Somnath of the East," this unfinished masterpiece houses one of the largest stone lingams in India, carved from a single rock. Its massive pillars and intricate carvings showcase the architectural brilliance of the Paramara dynasty. Despite its incomplete state, the temple's grand proportions and historical mystery make it a captivating destination for history buffs and devotees.

  • Address: Bhojpur, Raisen District, Madhya Pradesh (~25km from Bhopal)
