Jageshwar

Jageshwar is a temple site in a cedar-forested valley in Almora district of Uttarakhand, India. More than a hundred stone temples, mostly dedicated to Shiva, were built there between about the 7th and 12th centuries, many associated with the Katyuri kings, and the site remains an active place of pilgrimage. It is one of the largest temple groups of the central Himalaya.
