Day 1 Stop 1 - Bhojpur

Road trip map

Founded by the legendary Parmar King of Dhar, Raja Bhoj (1010-53) and named after him, Bhojpur, 28 km from Bhopal, is renowned for the remains of its magnificent Shiva Temple and Cyclopean dam. The temple, which has earned the name of the Somnath of the East, is known as the Bhojeshwar temple. The richly carved dome, though incomplete, has a magnificent, soaring strength of line and is supported by four pillars. These, like the dome, have been conceived on a massive scale, yet retain a remarkable elegance because of their tapering form. It remains one of the best examples of temple architecture of the 12th and 13th centuries.
