Teli ka Mandir, Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India
Teli ka Mandir, also known as #Telika_Temple, is a Hindu temple located within the #Gwalior_Fort in Madhya Pradesh, India. Dedicated to #Vishnu, #Shiva and #Matrikas, it has been variously dated between the early 8th and early 9th century CE.
It is an unusual Hindu temple, as it has a #rectangular #sanctum instead of the typical square. It integrates the architectural elements of the #Nagara style and the #Valabhi prasada that looks like the #Dravidian #wagon_vault topped #gopuram superstructure.
The temple is based on a #Pratihara_Gopagiri style North Indian architecture.
