Unao Balaji Sun Temple

The Unao Balaji Temple features intricate stone carvings with twenty-one triangles representing different phases of the sun on a black-plated brick platform.

The temple originated when a medieval king of Datia constructed it after discovering a sun deity statue at a location where a cow mysteriously poured milk daily.

Unlike traditional Hindu temples where only Brahmins can perform rituals, this temple exclusively allows priests from the Kachhi agricultural community to conduct ceremonies.

The temple stands 17 kilometers from both Datia city and Jhansi railway junction, making it accessible through multiple transportation routes in Madhya Pradesh.

The temple's proximity to the Pahooj River, containing sulfur-rich waters, attracts visitors seeking relief from skin conditions through traditional healing practices.
