Temples in Bhopal

Manua Bhan Ki Tekri

Situated atop a hill is the beautiful Manua Bhan Ki Tekri, a famous pilgrimage spot for Jain devotees. Also known as Mahaveer Giri, it is known for its exquisite architecture and panoramic views of the city. The tekri houses the footwear of Jain saint Shri Jindutta Sureshwarji, Maharaj Shri Vijay Suriji and Acharya Manutung, along with an idol of Shri Man Bhadarji.


Salkanpur Temple

Devoted to one of the incarnations of goddess Durga, the presiding deity in Salkanpur Temple is of Ma Durga Beejasan. It is also linked to the legend of the Shaktipeeth in Hindu mythology, where temples were created on spots where parts of Goddess Parvati's charred body fell.

Laxminarayan Temple

Situated on the Arera Hills, southeast of the Lower Lake, is the Laxminarayan Temple built by the Birlas. The museum here has a fine collection of ancient sculptures.
