Badoh, Vidisha district, Madhya Pradesh · 23.9183°, 78.2225°
A sandstone yogini temple at Badoh with a rectangular shrine under a tall massive shikhara, forty-two niches for goddess images and seven subsidiary shrines around it; eighteen of the broken goddess figures that once sat in its grooves survive. It is compared with the Teli ka Mandir at Gwalior and now holds both Hindu and Jain images.
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.
Locals hold that the temple was raised by shepherds, gadariya, which is how it came by the name Gadarmal.
