Bhitargaon

Bhitargaon is a town, near city of Kanpur in Kanpur Nagar district, Uttar Pradesh, India, known for its ancient Hindu temple, the largest Indian brick temple to survive from the time of the Gupta Empire.

[2] The Bhitargaon Temple is a terraced brick building fronted with a terracotta panel.

The temple is built on a square plan with double-recessed corners and faces east.

When Alexander Cunningham first visited the site, the remains of the porch and of the ardhamandapa were still visible, which later collapsed.

The temple is dedicated to Lord Jagannath, and has a highly unusual curving shape, with buddhist stupa(Mound) like resemblance.
