Dharmrajeshwar Temple

Top-down rock-cut monolithic temple in Mandsaur district, Madhya Pradesh, carved from a single rock outcrop in a manner directly comparable to Kailasa Temple at Ellora and the Lalibela churches in Ethiopia. Much less famous than either, but the technique connects three continents.
