About
Bhand Devra Temple, located at Ramgarh near Baran, is an extraordinary 10th-century Paramara dynasty stone temple complex built on the rim of a prehistoric meteor impact crater. Known locally as the 'Mini Khajuraho of Rajasthan', the main Shiva temple and surrounding subsidiary shrines feature elaborate sculptural panels depicting celestial nymphs, couples, and divine scenes comparable to Khajuraho in richness.
