Introduction

Mahamandir means the 'great temple'. Located 4 kilometers (2½ miles) northeast of the city center on the road to Mandore, the complex has an ancient Shiva temple within its precincts.

Built in 1812, this walled monastery complex has hundreds of structures. The monastery belongs to the Nath community. This community of warrior-priests worked closely with the royal family in times of war. Mahamandir is best known for the 84 beautifully carved pillars that surround it.
