Dharmrajeshwar, Archaeological site in Mandsaur district, India.

The Dharmrajeshwar Cave Temple features a monolithic structure carved into solid natural rock, displaying detailed sculptures and architectural elements throughout its chambers.

Dating from the 5th to 6th centuries AD, this temple complex underwent a transformation from a Vishnu worship center to a Shiva dedication site.

Seven smaller shrines surround the main temple, containing statues of deities including Lord Bhairava, Goddess Kali, and Goddess Parvati within their chambers.

The site lies 22 kilometers from Shamgarh railway station and requires descending nine meters through rocky terrain to reach the entrance.

At sunrise, natural light enters the temple chamber in such a way that it directly illuminates the central Shivalinga within the sanctum.
