Siddhanath Temple

• From the Omkar-Mandhata Temple, 170 steps cut into the hillside upwards, past the palace of the tribal king and the local settlements lies the ruins of the 13th century Siddhanath Temple. 
• This temple is the most charismatic architectural beauty of the town. 
• The Siddhanath Temple was attacked by Mahmud of Ghazni but still stands tall symbolising strength. 
• The frescos of elephants are the main attraction of this temple, which are carved in stone 1.5m in height. 
• Is is a fine example of early medieval Brahminic architecture with detailed carvings on the pillars and walls of the temple, which not only depicts its rich architecture, but also its spiritual value.
