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.

The #Badami cave #temples are a complex of #Hindu and #Jain cave temples located in Badami, a town in the #Bagalkot district in northern part of #Karnataka, India. The caves are considered as exquisite examples of Indian rock-cut architecture, especially Badami #Chalukya architecture, which dates from the 6th century and was the capital of the #Chalukyan dynasty.

The Badami cave temples represent some of the earliest known examples of Hindu temples in the #Deccan region. They along with the temples in Aihole transformed the #Malaprabha River valley into a cradle of temple architecture that influenced the components of later Hindu temples elsewhere in India.
