Galteswar Temple, Hindu temple in Sarnal, India

The Galteshwar Temple features a square inner sanctum, an octagonal dancing hall, and numerous carved pillars adorned with mythological figures and decorative patterns.

Built in the 12th century, this temple demonstrates the architectural fusion of central Indian Malwa style with influences from Gujarati Chaulukya construction techniques.

The temple maintains strong connections to Hindu mythology through its association with Rishi Galav and King Chandrahas, drawing devotees for spiritual gatherings.

The Archaeological Survey of India manages this national monument, which underwent major restoration work on its spire and mandapa following their collapse in 1908.

Located at the meeting point of Galta and Mahi rivers, the temple contains seven niches housing Dikpalas, the guardian deities of eight cardinal directions.
