Siddhanath Temple, Nemawar

Siddhanath Temple is a Hindu shrine built on a raised base beside the Narmada River using yellow and blush sandstone in the Nagara style. The structure displays the characteristic features of this classical Indian architectural tradition with carved stone details throughout.

The temple was built in the 10th century and holds medieval pilgrim inscriptions from 1196 and 1223 carved into its interior. These marks show that the site served as an important pilgrimage destination across several centuries.

The walls feature carved images of Hindu deities, with a prominent four-armed Shiva statue in the main shrine and various gods represented throughout the structure.

This is an active place of worship with protected heritage status, so visitors should wear modest clothing and be respectful of ongoing religious practices. The riverside location offers views of the Narmada, though visitors should take care when moving around the site.

Nearby sits an incomplete structure from the same period on an adjacent mound that reveals how ancient builders worked on such projects. A ceremonial pavilion was also constructed over a Nandi sculpture, showing how the site developed over generations.
