Kakanmath temple, Sihoniya, Hindu temple in Sihoniya, India

The Kakanmath temple features a central shrine with a 30-meter tower, surrounded by four subsidiary temples built without mortar or binding materials.

The temple was constructed between 1015 and 1035 CE by King Kirttiraja of the Kachchhapaghata dynasty as a dedication to Lord Shiva.

Local inhabitants maintain their distance from the temple after sunset based on traditional beliefs that supernatural entities constructed the building overnight.

The temple complex lies 32 kilometers from Morena Railway Station and 52 kilometers from Gwalior Airport, making it accessible for visitors.

The temple's construction technique involves precisely balanced stones against each other, maintaining stability without any binding materials.
