UDAYESHWAR TEMPLE


The Udayeshwar temple is dedicated to lord Shiva and is situated in Udaipur village near Ganj Basoda, a Tehsil of Vidisha district. One can visit to the temple either by road or by train, the road is from vidisha to udaipur via ganj basoda and by train one should have to go Bareth, a station on the main line of central west railway is at a distance of only 10 km from udaipur.The better option is to go by train because the condition of road is not very good.According to one of the old sanskrit inscription found here , Udaypura town was founded by the Parmara king Udayaditya during 11th century A.D and he built this temple dedicated to lord Shiva and named it as Udayeshwar temple.A big Mela is organized here every year on Shivratri ,people from nearby places comes here for the worship of lord Shiva.
