" Mundeshwari Temple : Abode of Shiva and Shakti "
It is considered one of the oldest functional Hindu temples in India.
Dedicated to Lord Shiva and Shakti, the Mundeshwari temple of Kaimur Bihar, is considered one of the oldest functional Hindu temples in India. The temple, built of stone, is on an octagonal plan which is rare. It is the earliest specimen of the Nagara style of temple architecture in Bihar. There are doors or windows on four sides and small niches for the reception of statues in the remaining four walls. The temple shikhara has been destroyed. At the entrance to the temple, the door jambs are seen with carved images of Dvarapalas, Ganga, Yamuna and many other murtis.
