90
km from Bhopal via Vidisha and Ganj Basoda.
The colossal
Neelkanthesh wara temple here is an outstanding example of Parmara art
and architecture of the 11th centure AD.
The crowning beauty
of this temple lies in its well proportioned and gracefully designed
spire or shikhar, and delicately carved medallions adorning its sides.
The fascinating spire is perhaps unrivalled in beauty in the
whole array of Indian temples.
Built of find red sandstone and
standing on a lofty platform, the temple consists of a garbhagriha (
shrine room ) a sabha mandap (hall) and three pravesha mandaps (entrance
porches) Bijamandal,
Sahi Masjid and Mahal, Sher Khan-ki Masjid and Pisnari-ka-Mandir
are some of the other monuments in Udaypur.
