Tucked away in the Morena district of Madhya Pradesh, Garhi Padavali appears to be a modest 18th-century fort. But within its walls lies a remarkable 1000 year-old Shiva temple. Though much of it has been lost to time, the surviving pavilion is a masterpiece of intricate carvings, vividly narrating stories from the Ramayana and the Mahabharata.
