Magderu, Hindu temple in Dhrasanvel, India

The Magderu temple stands on a low platform with one central large shrine and six smaller shrines, featuring early Nagara architectural style.

Built around 750 AD during the Maitraka period, this temple represents the earliest known example of a five-fold planned temple in the region.

The temple displays connections to both Surya and Shiva worship, with evidence suggesting early associations with Maga Brahmins from Iran.

Located three miles northeast of Dwarka, the temple maintains its original structure with a restored mandapa and Bhadraka style pillars.

The temple foundation follows an ancient vedibandha style, while its spire exhibits intricate lattice work that distinguishes it from other period structures.
