11th century #HinduTemple in #Bhojpur on the outskirts of #Bhopal. This town of Bhojpur is famous for the #BhojeshwarTemple built by Raja Bhoj of the Paramara dynasty in Central India.
The #BhojpurTemple has one of the tallest and grandest Shiva Lingams in India. And it’s built out of a single rock. Considering this 1000 year old Shiva temple was actually unfinished, imagine how grand it would have looked had it been completed.

Hours dribble away nonchalantly as the engine huffs and puffs its way up the Shivaliks.
