The #Bateshwar #Hindu #temples are a group of nearly 200 sandstone Hindu temples and their ruins in north Madhya Pradesh in post-Gupta, early #Gurjara_Pratihara style of North Indian temple architecture. It is about 35 kilometres north of #Gwalior and about 30 kilometres east of Morena town.

The temples are mostly small and spread over about 25 acres (10 ha) site. They are dedicated to #Shiva, #Vishnu and #Shakti - representing the three major traditions within #Hinduism.

The site is within the #Chambal River valley ravines, on the north-western slope of a hill near #Padavali known for its major medieval era #Vishnu temple. The #Bateshwar temples were built between the 8th and the 10th-century.

The site is likely named after the #Bhuteshvar Temple, the largest #Shiva temple at the site. It is also referred to as Batesvar temples site or Batesara temples site.

The #Girnar mountain ranges are considered to be sacred. It is an important pilgrimage site for both #Jains and #Hindus, who gather here during the #Girnar_Parikrama festival.

#Girnar is one of the five major 'tirthas' attributed to the 'panchkalyanakas' of various 'Jain tirthankaras'
.
.
HISTORY
The mountain Girnar is older than the #Himalayas and the #Jain #temples upon it are amongst the most ancient in the country; it is the #Nirvan_bhumi of 22nd #Tirthankara #Neminath.

It is 3666 feet high, and is one of the most remarkable mountains in #India. From the city of #Junagarh, which is at an altitude of barely 351 feet only the top of #Mount_Girnar can be seen, as it has in front of it lower hills, of which #Jogniya, or #Laso_Pawadi, 2527 feet; #Lakhshman_Tekri, Bensla, 2290 feet high; and #Datar, 2779 feet high, are the principals.
