Tourist Places :

Sihoniya (The capital of the Kachwahas) :

Sas-Bahu Abhilekh reflects that Suhoniya known as Sihoniya today was the capital of Kushwahas. The
Kachwaha kingdom was established in the 11th century between 1015 to 1035 A.D. The Kachwaha king
Kirtiraj got a “Shiv Temple erected at Sihoniya. This temple is known as the “Kakan Math” It stand on a spot
two miles away from Sihoniya in the north west of Distt. Morena. It is said that Kakanmath was built by king
KirtiRaj to fulfill the will of Queen Kakanwati. It is 115 ft. high and is built in the Kajurho style.

Jain Temples : Sihoniya is a holy place of the Jains. In the east of the village, there are the ruins of the Jain
temples of the 11th century A.D. In these temples there are statues of the Tirthankars such as Shantinath,
Kunthnath, Arahanath, Adinath, Parshvnath and others. The main temple has three statues : Shantinath,
Kunthnath and Arhanath of 10 to 15 ft. in height. They are of 11th century A.D.

Kutwar :

Kuntalpur known as Kutwar is the biggest ancient village of the Chambal valley. It is just like Hastinapur,
Rajgraha and Chadi of the Mahabharat period. The ancient Amba or ‘Harrisiddhi Devi’ temple and a crescent
shaped Dam erected on the river Asan are the beautiful visiting spots of Kutwar.

 

Padawali(Gupta Period) :

After Naga period, the Gupta empire was established in this area. The ‘Gotra’ of the emperors of the Gupta
dynasty was ‘Charan’. ‘Gharon’ village was inhabited near modern Padawali. Around Gharon there are the ruins
of several temples, houses and colonies. This new area of population is known as Padawali because it is
surrounded by several hills. Here was a magnificent ancient Vishnu Temple which was later converted into a big
‘Garhi’. The terrace, the courtyard and the assembly hall of this temple are the ‘epitome’ of ancient culture. The
standing statue of a Lion on the ruined gate seems to say that there was a time when he used to watch the temple
with his companion at its gate. More than fifty monuments of different kinds can be seen at Padawali up to the
valley of Bhuteshwar.

 

Mitawali :

In the north of Naresar, there is a sixty four Yogini temple situated on the hundred feet high mountain. It is a
wonderful circular construction of 170 feet radius on the style of Delhi’s parliament house. Attached to circular
verandah there are sixty four rooms and a big courtyard in the temple. In the centre of the temple there is the
circular temple of Lord Shiva .
