Pinjore, Panchkula, Haryana · 30.7925°, 76.9122°
The remains of a Gurjara-Pratihara temple complex at Pinjore in Panchkula district, built between the 8th and 12th centuries on a panchayatana plan of a main shrine ringed by four subsidiary ones, comparable to work at Khajuraho and Bhubaneswar. Its sculpture spans Shaiva, Vaishnava and Shakta subjects, and the site is now an open-air museum beside the 17th-century Yadavindra Gardens.
What follows is the temple’s own traditional account, transmitted through liturgy and local memory. It is recorded here as tradition, not as attested history.
The Devi Mahatmya tells of Bhimadevi manifesting in colossal form in the western Himalaya near this place to protect the sages.
