About Bhojpur Temple in Bhopal

Bhojpur Temple is a large heritage temple of Lord Shiva in Raisen District in the state of Madhya Pradesh. The Shiva Temple has earned the title of the Somnath of the East and is called Bhojeshwar Temple.

History of Bhojpur Temple

It was founded by the Parmar king of Dhar, Raja Bhoj (1010-53) and was named after him. 28 km from Bhopal, Bhojpur is famous as an archeological site because of its magnificent remains of Shiva Temple and Cyclopean dam. King Bhoja built a series of dams to harvest water of nine rivers at the site of Bhojeshwar Temple in MP. 

The temple houses a 18-feet tall and 7-feet wide lingam. Bhojpur Mandir is a simple square with outside portion of 66 feet, there are no re-entrant angles usual domes, though it is incomplete but has a magnificent soaring strength of line and is supported by four pillars. Like dome the pillars are also massive but they retain a remarkable elegance due to their tapering form. The doorway is richly carved from above and from below it is plain throwing sharp relief against the two exquisitely sculpted figures that stand on the either side. The other three sides are balconies each supported by massive brackets and four intricately carved pillars.

Due to reason unknown the temple was not completed and the earthen ramp used to raise it to dome level still stands. If it would have been completed than definitely it would have been a masterpiece of its kind, and would have had no comparison to any other, anywhere in the world. Bhojeshwar Temple is one of the finest examples of temple architecture of the12th and 13th centuries.

Bhojpur Temple in Bhopal also have a few unfinished statues of Shantinath,  Suparshvanatha, and Parshwanath in a Jain Temple.

Nitesh's 3 days trip to Bhopal

Being a regular customer of TT, I haven't received any relaxation or cupon for this trip, Also the first hotel was as per expectations but the second hotel for stay was worst and TT has to first analyse such property before booking. For second hotel bad experience. The service Agent Ankush, the first hotel Ark Residency and the cab driver pankaj. Also the site seeing spots.

Aditi's 5 days trip to Bhopal

Thank you for making my trip so amazing, Club 7 Vacation. Mrs. Neha was extremely supportive during the entire trip. Driver Mohit was extremely adjustable and cooperative. We enjoyed a lot during the entire trip. Although our hotel at Gwalior Hote Moziac has a 4-star rating, it was not like that. The food was good, but the rooms were not very good.If you need space in the room and hotel, please do not opt for it. The rest of the journey was comfortable.

Jitesh's 5 days trip to Bhopal

He had a great experience with this trip. Cab driver was very friendly and was explaining us more about each temple and history behind it. On ground we didn’t had to face any challenges as booking was done in advance however we had to follow up multiple times to get hotel vouchers before the start of the trip. Further travel triangle agent was not responding to me for getting hotel vouchers. Before booking the trip agent was very active and helpful but after booking she didn’t bothered to respond also. It was commitment from Club 7 Vacations which ensured everything was in place

Gh's 8 days trip to Bhopal

Thank you Club7 vacation for the well planned and executed trip plan. The driver was well behaved and very polite. The cab was also good. MPT hotels were excellent. Hotels in Khajuraho and Gwalior could have been better. Both are not in good condition. Overall it was a nice trip. Club7 vacation team was quick in response and resolving queries.

We're still basking in the warmth of our incredible 13D/12N Madhya Pradesh adventure & we can't thank you enough for making it truly unforgettable!

Our accommodations were comfortable and perfect for our needs, and the flight tickets were arranged seamlessly. But what really made our trip special was *Mr. Sumrin*, our amazing driver! He was the epitome of patience, kindness, and professionalism. His spotless vehicle & warm smile were a constant source of comfort throughout our journey. Please extend our heartfelt thanks to him! We also appreciated your regular check-ins, ensuring everything was okay and if we needed anything. It felt like having a friend looking out for us from afar.
