About Bhuleshwar Temple
A 13th-century hilltop Shiva temple that looks from the outside like a small fort, with an interior covered in carved panels, including scenes from the Mahabharata. Many figures were defaced during the medieval period, which somehow makes the surviving ones more striking.
What to see and do
