Shiva temple, Bhumara, Hindu temple in Satna district, India
The temple stands on a 1.4-meter platform with two concentric chambers and features a square plan with a sanctum containing an Ekamukha Linga.
The Archaeological Survey discovered this 5th-century Gupta temple in 1920, hidden under dense vegetation after Alexander Cunningham's initial visit in the 1870s.
The temple exhibits ancient Hindu religious practices through intricate carvings depicting deities Ganesha, Kartikeya, Surya, Durga, and representations of the rivers Ganga and Yamuna.
Many original sculptures and reliefs from the temple now reside in museums across Kolkata, Allahabad, and Delhi for preservation and research purposes.
The temple houses a six-foot-high Ekamukha Linga with detailed jewelry-like carvings, displaying a single face of Shiva in front profile.
