Bhojpur temple Bhopal ....

Bhojpur is situated 32 km from Bhopal, the capital of Madhya Pradesh. There is a huge, incomplete Shiva temple on the hill overlooking Bhojpur. It is famous as Bhojpur Shiva Temple or Bhogeshwar Temple. Bhojpur and this Shiva temple were built by the famous King Bhoj (1010 AD - 1055 AD) of the Parmar dynasty. This temple has its many features. The 22-feet high is more than the Shivling of the Brihadevar temple in Thanjavur, South India. It is also said that this temple was constructed by the Pandavas.

The special feature of the Bhojeshwar temple is its incomplete construction. There is no convincing evidence of why its construction was incomplete, but it is said that this temple was to be built on one night but the roof was completed in the morning just before the completion of the work, hence the work remained incomplete .
