The Murayata group of temples in Kadwaha Madhya Pradesh consists of two 10th to 11th-century Hindu temples. The larger temple here is known as the Toteshvara Mahadeva mandir.
The Toteshwara temple faces east and stands on a platform. It has a flight of tapering steps, and next to a manmade water tank. This pancharatha plan temple is the most sophisticated temple in Kadwaha's numerous historic temples. The profusely carved Toteshvara temple has a mandapa, an antarala and a garbhagriha. The sanctum doorway has seven shakhas of artwork, Ganesha at the lalata-bimba. The architrave above the lintel has male-female pair for Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva. Inside the sanctum is a Shiva linga. On the outside, the sikhara is latina-Nagara style with Sekhari features. There is a sukhanasi, and the artwork includes all major Hindu traditions. Much of the artwork is badly mutilated, but the portions that survive show the elegance of shilpin's work.
Near the Toteshwara temple, a short walk away, is the second more damaged temple. Its mandapa and upper parts of the sikhara are lost. This temple too was dedicated to Shiva, as evidenced by his image on the lalitabimba.
