Nachna-Kuthara
About Nachna-Kuthara
Nachna-Kuthara is a complex of early stone Hindu temples located in the Ganj area of Panna district, Madhya Pradesh, India. The temples are among the earliest surviving stone temples in central India, comparable to those at Bhumara and Deogarh. The Parvati Temple and Chaumukhnath Temple represent the finest examples of 5th–6th century Gupta-era architecture, illustrating the North Indian Nagara style of Hindu temple construction. The Chaturmukha temple within the complex dates to the 9th century. Most temples in the area remain in ruins, though the best-preserved structures continue to draw devotees for daily darshan and aarti rituals, with special pujas performed during festival days. The site stands at an elevation of 225 meters and is well-connected by road, approximately 20 minutes from the city centre.
