An 11th century Durga Mahisasuramardini Hindu temple in south Chhattisgarh

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The Paidamma temple is a Hindu goddess-tradition temple in Bastar region of south Chhattisgarh. It was likely built around the same time as the nearby Mama Bhanja temple of Barsoor.

Most of the temple was damaged and scattered before the modern era. In the 2010s, an effort was made to recollect the ruins and put the temple back together. The mandapa was placed under a modern era shed. Numerous parts of the old temple were arranged on the ground near the temple.

The damaged black stone Durga Mahisasuramardini statue of this temple is notable.

The temple is likely from the late 11th century, as there is a mention of a Durga temple in an inscription found here and now relocated to a museum.
