Central India

Deogarh: meticulously wrought pillars showing a multitude of seated Jinas. This sacred ground, served by  buses from Lalitpur, lies on the site of an ancient fort at the southern end of a minor road.

A dharmashala, seclud- edly situated at the foot of the hill, has a modern temple with an impressive old manastambha in front of it.

Map showing part of Central India that abounds in sites of Jaina art and worship. For lack of space only a selective few are featured in this chapter. The River Betwa follows the border to Madhya Pradesh west of Deogarh.
