| The Bhojeshwar Temple IAST: BhojeÃ
âºvara is an incomplete Hindu temple in Bhojpur village of Madhya Pradesh, India. Dedicated to Shiva, it houses a 7.5 feet 2.3 m high lingam in its sanctum.
The temple`s construction is believed to have started in the 11th century, during the reign of the Gurjar Paramara king Bhoja. The construction was abandoned for unknown reasons, with the architectural plans engraved on the surrounding rocks. The unfinished materials abandoned at the site, the architectural drawings carved on the rocks, and the mason`s marks have helped scholars understand the temple construction techniques of 11th-century India. The temple has been designated as a Monument of National Importance by the Archaeological Survey of India |
