Udaypur, Madhya Pradesh. Śiva temple from the west.
The monuments of Udaypur were first studied by M. B. Garde and published in the reports of the archaeological department of Gwalior state. The data in these reports was compiled into a list prepared in 1952.[2]
Śiva temple, 1080 CEedit
The most important temple at Udaypur is that dedicated to Śiva and known today as the Nīlakaṇṭheśvara. It is a Protected Monument of national importance under the Archaeological Survey of India, number N-MP-289 in the List of Monuments of National Importance in Madhya Pradesh/East. The temple was built in the second half of the eleventh century and is the only surviving royal temple of the Paramara kings.
Udaypur, Madhya Pradesh. One of a pair of mosque inscriptions from the time of Muhammad ibn Tughluq, dated 739 AH (i.e. 1338-39 CE).
Directly next to the temple is a small mosque constructed during the reign of Muhammad ibn Tughluq. A pair of inscriptions record the building of this structure in 739 AH (i.e. 1338-39 CE).[3]
A short distance to the north-west of the Nīlakaṇṭheśvara is a Jain temple complex. The temple proper is recent and the ajacent arcades of the courtyard belong to 19th century. A number of Jain images of the Paramāra period are on display there and document the presence of the Digambara Jain community at Udaypur in medieval times. The adjacent buildings, perhaps of the 17th century, were underdemolition in 2016.
Islam Shah Suri mosque, 1549 CEedit
A short distance to the south of the Shiva temple is a mosque with an inscription recording its construction in the time of Islam Shah of the Sur Dynasty in 1549.[4] The inscription is placed directly over the mihrab.[5] The shows the continued importance of Udaypur on the north-south route to the Deccan in the time of the Suri rulers.
Shahi Mahal, 1617–32 CEedit
Udaypur, Shahi Mahal, interior decoration with cusped arch niches typical of Mughal architecture
Directly east of Nīlakaṇṭheśvara is a large palace complex known as Shāhī Maḥal, which served as the residence of the local governor during the Mughal rule.[6]
