Panchkula district, India
Also known as: భీమా దేవి ఆలయ స్థల సంగ్రహాలయంಭೀಮಾ ದೇವಿ ದೇವಾಲಯ ತಾಣದ ಸಂಗ್ರಹಾಲಯ
The Bhima Devi Temple Complex, nicknamed Khajuraho of North India for its erotic sculptures, comprises the restored ruins of an ancient Hindu temple dating from between 8th and 11th century AD, together with the adjacent 17th-century Pinjore gardens, located in Pinjore town in Panchkula district of the state of Haryana, India. The old temple was destroyed by Islamic invaders and the present 8-11th CE temple is likely built on the same place under the old name, and the nearby ancient baoli still has old Hindu pillars. Bhimadevi belongs to the Shakti tradition that was derived from the Buddhist tantric goddess.[2]
