Arthuna Group Of Temples

An inscription of the Paramara prince Chamundaraja records that he built a temple of Shiva called Mandalesa in honour of his father in A.D. 1079. Another inscription of A.D. 1080 mentions that his officer's son named Anantapala also founded a temple of Shiva.In a group of temples known as Hanumangarhi is located Nilakantha Mahadeva temple, besides other shrines and a stepped Kunda. There are three Shiva temples. The place was associated with the Lakulisa sect of Saivism. The temples of Hanuman and Vishnu also belong to the early period. Bhushana built a Jaina temple in A.D. 1190. A few Jain pillars also being found at the site which were built probably after 11th century. Another temple at the site is of the Chaunsatha Yoginis

It is an ancient beautiful temple complex, where many temple ruins exist in landscaped garden. Quite a number of visitors are there. Out of all the temple, the only temple where Puja is done a small Hanuman temple. Local adivasis have lot of reverence for this hanuman temple. Devotess come here to pray and once there wish is fulfilled they come and celebrate here with lot of fanfare.

A place where ancient architecture and culture resonate with the vibe of the past era of kings and their cultural beliefs. If you visit arthuna then this temple must be in your list and especially the back area of the main temple, you.must try

Thank me later 🥱

The village of Arthuna is located at a distance of 55 km from Banswara and 150 km from Udaipur. Group of temple was constructed between the 11th and 13th century, by the various ruled this area, The old name of the place was Utthunaka. It was the capital of Paramara rulers of Vagad during eleventh-twelfth centuries A.D. They patronized both Jainism and Saivism simultaneously, so they constructed a number of Shiva and Jain temples around the Gamela Talab. Hanuman Garhi is the most significant Temple complex named after the installation of colossal idol of Lord hanuman in 1108 AD.

Arthuna was built in 11 -12 century by Parampara dynasty kings.
It has spread on vast area of 3 sq KM. Temple complex mainly of Shivaits and Jainism. However we could find few Jain temples. Temple are in ruin except few Shiv temple where Poona goes on. THough the script says there is 64 yogini temple I could not found out the same. ASI is restoring the most of the temple complex. It need to be protected One can find cultivation going on around the complex even it is protected.

Must visit place to visit if you are in Banswara.Monsoons are the best time to visit because of lushly greenry.Temple construction is not simple stone carvings, but it is sheer poetry in stones, and its description is beyond words., serene Beauty around will make your day.

My favourite place. This archeological site is known as 800 years old. But now some studies show that these construction are 1200 years old, i.e. 8th century.
