Maa Vijay Temple

The Vijay Temple is a ruined temple located in the city of Vidisha, Madhya Pradesh, India. It is rich in archaeologically interesting objects. It is said that the building was built in 8th century and was then later on reconstructed in Paramara period in the second half of 11th century by Emperor Naravarman. Since Emperor Naravarman was a devotee of Goddess Charchika, who is also known as Vijaya, this landmark is popularly known as Vijaya temple. The building was never finished which can easily be seen by the carved niches and unfinished architectural pieces found round the base of the temple plinth. The temple was demolished by Aurangzeb and he made a mosque over the demolished remains of the temple
