Neelkanth Mahadeo Temple

Neelkanth temple is a temple dedicated to Lord Shiva and is located within the Sariska Tiger Reserve premises. Though it is almost in ruins, locals still hold faith in this temple and many other temples in the reserve. This is actually, a cluster of a few temples together almost 30 km into an isolated hill in the Tiger Reserve. It is noted for its excellent stone carving and the lush green forests that surround the temple add to its beauty. The complex is said to be built between 6th to 9th century CE by Maharajadhiraja Mathanadeva, a Pratihara feudatory.
