Handia, also spelled Handiya, is a town on the southern bank of Narmada across from Nemawar – one of the major historic Hindu pilgrimage center. Handia became one of the pilgrim tax-related administrative center for the Malwa Sultanate and later the Mughals. In late 17th-century, it became a part of the Maratha empire who eliminated religious taxes on the Hindus, restored and built new temples on both sides of the Narmada.
The Riddhanath temple – also referred to as Ridhanath or Riddheshwar mandir – was a 12th-century temple in ruins that was rebuilt from surviving temple parts by the Marathas in the 18th-century. Thus, it has a blend of the old pillars and sections in a Maratha-architecture building. It combines a square plan, old pillars with new. The decorations and designs include some arches and domes.
