Attributed to Karan Dev of Kalchuri Tripuri era, this 11th century Hindu temple is one of a group of temples in Amarkantak, east Madhya Pradesh. It has a mandapa, anatarala and sanctum. The sanctum is sunk below the ground level (Patal), like many Shiva temples in central India – thus shares the same name "Pataleshwar mandir" as them.
