About Baroli
Baroli is situated 45 km southwest of Kota on the way to Rana Pratap
Sagar. Set is a peaceful area, many of these 9th century temples were
vandalized by Muslim armies but much remains. The main temple is
Ghateshwara Temple, which features some impressive columns. Although it
is one of the best preserved temples here, some of its figures have been
damaged. Many of the sculptures from the temple are displayed in Brij
Vilas Palace Museum in Kota. The intricate carvings and an exquisite image of Natraj
(Shiva) the cosmic dancer on the door of the mandap offer fine examples of craftsmanship. Many interesting shrines also lie closeby.
