Naresar Temples Group (Morena) India

Naresar also known as (Nalesvara)

Most of the temples built in the (7th-8th) centuries.

Naresar (Small village) is located about 18 km in a northeastern direction from Gwalior in Morena district.
Naleshwar is an epithet of Lord Shiva, to whom the temple is dedicated. 
This temple group contains around 22 temples. The attractive feature of the temple groups of Naresar is the unusual location in high rocky hill and on several man-made terraces. 
This temple group is examples of the Pratihara style(Central Indian). The earliest built during the early Pratihara period.
Naresar, Mitawali, and Bateshwar are located on or near the rocky hill that rises above the surrounding plains.


Half of the temples of this group are situated beside a lake.
A Hidden Gem. Amazing place, ruins of temples, a pond out in nowhere. The road to reach is pretty bad, almost non existent for a 4 wheeler.

The Pratiharas extended the existing tradition by adding a full fledged mandapa to the single shrine temple types of the Gupta age and of the early Pratihara period e.g. Naresar, Bateswar etc.





certain temples at Naresar (District Morena), Mahua (District Shivpuri),Amrol (District Gwalior), and Dang (District Bhind), assignable to the period of Yashovarman (725-752) A.D. and Amaraja of Kanauj after their shift from Marumandala to Kannauj, form part of the survey.

Temple shrine displays the earliest Valabhi-sikhara in Central India anticipating the grand on the Teli Ka mandir at Gwalior.
The history of India still lies in neglect.
