Bisaldeo temple, Hindu temple in Tonk district, India
Bisaldeo temple is a Hindu worship site in the Tonk region with multiple chambers, a tower, and covered entry areas. The structure features a rounded dome above its main hall and displays decorative carvings at its entrance portico.
The temple was built in the 12th century by a regional ruler and originally sat on high ground overlooking two rivers. It became an important place of worship during a period when such structures were being actively constructed across the region.
The temple served as a place where pilgrims and devotees made offerings and journeys, as recorded in inscriptions from the 1100s. These marks on stone document the spiritual activities and generosity of visitors who came to worship here.
The site is best reached on foot as the temple sits on elevated terrain that has been partially affected by a reservoir. Visitors should expect uneven ground and check local conditions ahead of time, particularly during heavy rains.
A dam built in the 1990s altered the landscape where the temple stands, with water now reaching partway up the site. This engineering change transformed what was once a commanding hilltop position into a different setting.
