Boodhi Chanderi (Old Chanderi)

Chanderi, Madhya Pradesh, India
Boodhi Chanderi, meaning "Old Chanderi," refers to the ancient settlement that predates the current town. According to folklore, this was the original site of Chanderi, established by Raja Shishupal (mentioned in the Mahabharata) or later by King Kirtipal in the 11th century before the capital was shifted to the current location. This archaeological site offers a fascinating glimpse into the very early history of the region. The area is primarily characterized by the ruins of numerous ancient Jain temples, dating back to the 9th and 10th centuries. These temples, though largely in ruins, often feature intricate carvings and sculptures, providing valuable insights into the religious and artistic expressions of that period. Exploring Boodhi Chanderi is like stepping back in time, offering a sense of the continuous human habitation and religious activity that has defined the region for over a millennium. It's a place for quiet contemplation and understanding the deeper historical roots of Chanderi.
