Dipadih is a village and archaeological site in north Chhattisgarh. Ruins of many groups of Hindu and Jain temples are scattered here over about 50 square kilometers. These range from the 8th to 13th-century, with occasional find of Gupta and post-Gupta era artwork.

One of the oldest and largest collection of ruins are locally referred to as the Prachin Shiva temple and Samat Sarna museum. These are from the 8th to 9th-century. The ruins show evidence of both erosion and deliberate mutilation (beheading, defacement, chopped limbs). The collection includes pillars, sanctum doorway, many Ganga and Yamuna goddesses, Shiva, Vishnu, Devi, Ramayana, Mahabharata and other secular Hindu panels.
