Resturants Near Kanti Deval Temple Complex

Ratanpur, Chhattisgarh, India
The Kanti Deval Temple Complex, sometimes spelled Kanthi Dewal or Kanti Deul, is an impressive group of temples dedicated to Lord Shiva (specifically the Neelkanthesvara form) located within the premises of the Mahamaya Temple in Ratanpur. It is considered one of the oldest structures in the area. T he original construction is attributed to an ascetic named Santosh Giri in 1039 AD, making it predates the main Mahamaya Temple. It was later significantly expanded and renovated in the 15th century by the powerful Kalachuri king Prithvidev II. The complex comprises at least two main temples and is architecturally significant for its unusual height and unique design, which blends traditional Hindu styles with early regional forms. The temples have been actively restored by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI). During excavations, a skeleton was found beneath the sanctum of one temple, hinting at a past use as a royal burial site. The temple's walls are covered in detailed sculptures and figures, showcasing the artistic heritage of the Kalachuri period.
