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.
