Overview

If you have a penchant for exploring something very unique and age old legacy of hundreds of old temples at one place, we are ready to provide you the option to visit such sites. Nearly 100 kms far from Agra in Madhya Pradesh in Morena district lie these temples and dates back to 6 century to 10th century A.D. These temples specially at Bateshwar and Garhi Padavali are awe inspiring. Another one built on a hill called Mitavali temple is said to inspire the design and lay out for the Indian Parliament. This temple is called 64 yogini temple. All other temples except the Mitavali are on the plains but in 64 Yogini temple you have to climb upstairs.
