Ghateshwar Temple, Hindu temple in Rawatbhata, India
Description
Ghateshwar Temple is a Hindu temple in Rawatbhata with a five-part inner chamber, a connecting passageway, and an entrance hall supported by six pillars and decorated with fine stone carving throughout. Each section of the structure displays careful craftsmanship in its stone work.
History
This shrine was built around 990 CE during the Gurjara-Pratihara dynasty as part of the larger Baroli Temple Complex from the medieval period. The development of this group of structures reflects the construction traditions and religious priorities of that ruling era.
Culture
The temple walls display detailed carvings of dancing female figures that show how religious devotion and classical Indian art forms come together in this sacred space.
Practical
This shrine sits around 50 kilometers from Kota city and is cared for by the Archaeological Survey of India with standard visiting hours. Visitors should dress appropriately and come during regular daytime hours, as it remains an active place of worship.
Did you know?
The entrance gate shows a decorative makara-torana design, an elaborate arched gateway motif with symbolic meaning in Hindu architecture. Combined with its position near the Chambal River, this creates a connection between the building and its natural setting.
