Th colossal Udayeshwar Mahadeva temple is a 11th century shrine built for Lord Shiva in the village of Udaypur under Tehsil Basoda, Madhya Pradesh. An outstanding example of Paramara art and architecture, it is also called the Neelkantheshwara Temple.
Built by King Udayaditya, brother of Paramara King Bhoja, the red sandstone structure is based on the sapta-yatana (five shrine complex) floor plan. The first rays of the sun fall on the entrance of the temple here and hence the name - Udayeshwar Mahadeva temple.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
