Narayaneshwar Temple, Narayanpur

Friday, November 25, 2005

On Sunday, 20th November; I visited Narayanpur along with Dhiraj and Seema. The Narayaneshwar temple and Dattatraya Temple at Narayanpur are indeed very beautiful. Though our main plan was to visit Balaji Temple near this village, we had to shift our plan due to excess rush at the Balaji Temple.
The Narayaneshwar temple seems to be around 700 years old. The sculptures in the temple are said to be of Yadav Era. Most of the Art on walls and doors has been ruined, probably during some Muslim attacks.
Narayaneshwar is the village of Saint Changdev. The Dattatray Temple in the village (which is next to the Narayaneshwar Temple)is very beautiful. Pilgrims come here to worship the Auspicious Audambar Tree.
Here are few snaps of this tour.

Dinesh,

Do you by any chance have any pictures related to Changdev Maharaj from your Narayaneshwar visit? I am looking for some pictures of Changdev for this wikipedia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Changdev. Do share your pictures onto wikipedia if you can.

thanks,
Kedar
