Neelkanth

Location

Continuing with the temple pilgrimage the Neelkanth Mahadeva (Blue throat Lord Shiva) temple town located in the vicinity of Tehla, is famous for accommodating ruins of more than 300 temples dedicated to the Hinduism and Jainism. These temples believed to be constructed between the 7th and the 12th centuries resemble the carvings of Khajuraho (Chandelas). The temples are an awe inspiring example of the artistic glory that prevailed in the area even a millennium ago. The idols, the temple yards and architecture have been so delicately crafted that the feat without use of any scientific instruments is unthinkable even today.
