Mitaoli, Padavali & Bateshwar - A Collection of Historic Architectural Beauty!
A beautiful set of structures dating back to the Gupta and Gurjara-Pratihara dynasties define the mastery of a historic era. The marvels of Mitaoli, Padavali, and Bateshwar temples are situated just a few kilometres from the city of Gwalior.
Mitaoli
Mitaoli is a village where the popular Chausath Yogini Temple lies - The temple is perched atop a hill surrounded by the lush greenery. A climb of approximately 100 steps will take you to the beauty of this splendid round temple. The striking views will definitely have you reaching for your camera too!
As claimed by etchings and engravings in the temple, ancient shrine is said to have been built by the Maharaja Devapala. In fact, the Parliament House in New Delhi is believed to have been inspired from the circular design and architectural intricacies of the Mitaoli temple!
It is also said that Mitaoli, Padavali and Bateshwar made a golden triangle in which a university existed about a 1000 years ago! The alleged teaching centre was said to be a hub to impart education in Mathematics, Astrology and Hinduism to the children with the help of sun rays!
Padavali
The notable Padavali fortress was built in the 18th century by the Jat Ranas rulers of Dhaulpur. Graciously guarded by a lion and lioness, the fort also has a temple that once served as a divine place to worship Lord Shiva. Every stone used in the fortification and in the making of the temple has something to convey about the ancient era through its inscription and detailing!
Bateshwar
The site is not just about one temple; the Bateshwar temples are a cluster of almost 200 mini grandeurs made of sandstone, devoted to lords Shiva and Vishnu. Spread over 25 acres, these shrines were built across slanted hills near Padavali. The temples were constructed in the 8th to 10th century AD probably during the Gurjara-Pratihara Dynasty. Interestingly, the jungle nearby is full of beautiful birds like peacocks, parakeets and kingfishers. One can often spot the national bird perching and posing on the rooftop of the temples.
All three destinations are situated in the Morena district and can be reached easily via Gwalior

Temple Tale! Continuing my quest to explore ancient temples in the Morena district, I visited the Bateshwar group of temples. A group of 200 sandstone Shiva temples and ruins scattered near Padavali village. The temples were built during the 6th-8th century and destroyed during the 13th century. Along with the temples, the stories of its establishments or destructions were lost too. Ruins were lying around hidden from civilization until the late 19th century when they were rediscovered. Though protected by ASI, the temples were too damaged to be restored. But something unusual happened in the year 2005. It caught the fancy of archeologist KK Muhammed of the Bhopal region (now heads ASI) when he discovered the architecture of the temples follows two ancient documents on architectures and design principles written in the 3rd century and 7th century. He started leading the restoration work. But ruins were scattered across the region. Some far from the temple ground. It is not an easy task to excavate in a region famous (rather infamous) for being ruled by notorious dacoits. Chambal Dakus. Surprisingly the Chambal decoits played a crucial role to find all ruins scattered across the Chambal valley. Till now his team with the help of Chambal dacoits has restored more than 60 temples like jigsaw puzzles from mounds of rubble. Rest is still being restored. I heard many interesting stories about ancient structures but never heard anything more interesting about the restoration of a place. Few 6-8th century temples being restored in the 21st century with the help of 3rd-century texts and notorious dacoits. @mptourism is full of wonders. 📸 @ghorui.tarun #mytravellingstilettos #bateshwar (at Bateshwar group of Temples) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ52NN0HWh0/?igshid=ykaqp2uew8i
