About
Jageshwar Dham, also known as the Jageshwar Temple Complex, is an ancient group of stone temples in Jageshwar, in the Almora district of Uttarakhand, India. The complex is made up of over 100 stone temples, which date from the 9th to the 13th centuries.
What to expect
The site is best suited to visitors interested in old stone architecture and in religious heritage. Its temples are spread across a wooded setting, so a visit is a slow walk from one shrine to the next rather than a single stop. Take time to look at the carved stonework and the different sizes and forms of the shrines, which show how the complex grew across several centuries.
