Gadarmal Devi temple dates back to the 9th century. The architecture of this yogini temple is a fusion of Pratihara and Parmara styles. It is built similar to Teli ka Mandir in Gwalior fort. This temple houses both Hindu and Jain idols.[1] The temple is made of sandstone with seven small shrines surrounding the main shrine.[2]
It is a 42-niche yogini temple. 18 broken images of the goddesses that once fitted into grooves in the temple platform are preserved from the waist down. It is composed of a rectangular shrine and a tall and massive Shikhara.[citation needed] Vidya Dehejia writes that as a yogini temple, it must once have been hypaethral, open to the sky.[3] The temple was supposedly built by shepherds (gadariya), and is therefore called Gadarmal Devi Temple among locals. It consists of one oblong cell with an entrance porch but without sabhamandapa.[citation needed]
The archaeologist Joseph David Beglar photographed a colossal bas-relief sculpture of a mother and child inside the temple in 1871–2. He called it a figure of Maya Devi and the infant Buddha.[4]
