Bhojpur - Bhojeshwar Temple Attractions

Bhojpur is a town of historical and religious importance in Bhojpur. The legendary Parmara king, Dhar Raja Bhoj, founded the town. The Bhojeshwar Temple, named for the king, is a simple square with a carved dome supported by four pillars.

The Bhojeshwar Temple was never completed, and the ramp used to raise the dome-level still stands. Although not completed, it remains on of the best examples of temple architecture from the 12th and 13th C.

Nearby, and also incomplete, is a Jain shrine. Highlights include a colossal statue of Mahavira and two of Parswanat.
