We conducted background research, documented this temple and prepared measured drawings (a first step towards conservation). This project won the prestigious Luis Kahn Trophy in a competition organised by national association of schools of architecture (NASA)  in 1993.

Situated in Gwalior district of Madhya Pradesh in India, Mitaoli Temple is an epitome of the transition phase between ancient Buddhist architecture and the Hindu architecture and is one of 9 temples of this kind existing today. Most noticeable feature of this temple is the absence of 'shikhara' the characteristic  feature of Hindu temples. It is most complete in its original form, and probably the largest one of its kind. It is a fine example of the skills of ancient people over geometry and mergence of organic and inorganic forms, and intermingling of scientific as well as religious outlook.

 Presented here are some of the measured drawings and images of the Temple.
