site because of its magnificent remains of Shiva Temple and Cyclopean dam. The temple is a simple square with
outside portion of 66 feet, there are no re-entrant angles usual domes, though it is incomplete but has a magnificent
soaring strength of line and is supported by four pillars. Like dome the pillars are also massive but they retain a
remarkable elegance due to their tapering form. Divided into three sections the lowest is an octagon with facets of
2.12 feet, from which springs a 24-faced section. The doorway is richly carved from above and from below it is plain
throwing sharp relief against the two exquisitely sculpted figures that stand on the either side. The other three sides
are balconies each supported by massive brackets and four intricately carved pillars. The lingam in the sanctum rises
to an awe inspiring height of 7.5 feet with a circumference of 17.8 feet. Set upon a massive platform 21.5 feet square
and made of three superimposed limestone blocks, the architectural harmony of lingam and platform creates a
superb synthesis of solidity and lightness. Due to reason unknown the temple was not completed and the earthen
ramp used to raise it to dome level still stands. The temple is one of the finest examples of temple architecture of
the12th and 13th centuries.

pre-historic site, its giant rock formation must have provided ample shelter to the ancient tribes that dwelt here.
Recently, about 760 rock shelters of the Neolithic age (circa 8,000 b.c.) were discovered here. These shelters are
decorated with picture writings, depicting the life and times of pre-historic cave dwellers. Some of the drawings in
white are reminiscent of the cave paintings in Pachmarhi, making the Bhimbetka group an archaeological treasure
