Tigawa Temples, Madhya Pradesh

Tigawa Temples are a group of Hindu Temples dedicated to Lord Vishnu, Goddess Durga and Goddess Chamunda, located in Tigawa Village in the state of Madhya Pradesh, India. Tigawa is also an archaeological site with a complex of about 36 Hindu temple ruins. The Hindu temple ruins were badly damaged during a colonial era railway project when a contractor demolished and excavated the ruins as building material for the railway project. Of the monuments, the Kankali Devi Temple is most notable and is a Gupta period temple. It is one of the oldest surviving Hindu temples, illustrating the formative stages of Hindu sacred architecture and the essential elements found in the north Indian style through the modern era.
