Shanishchara (Shanichara) temple, Morena

In this episode of our heritage exploration series we bring to you the ancient Shanishchara temple located at Shani Parvat, Village Ainti, District Morena, Madhya Pradesh, India.

This temple is believed to be the oldest Shani temple in the world dating back to the Treta Yug (one of the early ages of mankind as per the Hindu belief). Also the idol of Lord Shani here is believed to have been made out of a meteoroid that fell from the sky during ancient times!
