What To Expect
Mitawali Temple
Mitawali is a village where the popular Chausath Yogini Temple lies - The temple is perched atop a hill surrounded by the lush greenery. A climb of approximately 100 steps will take you to the beauty of this splendid round temple. In fact, the Parliament House in New Delhi is believed to have been inspired from the circular design and architectural intricacies of the Mitawali temple.
The notable Padavali fortress was built in the 18th century by the Jat Ranas rulers of Dhaulpur. Graciously guarded by a lion and lioness, the fort also has a temple that once served as a divine place to worship Lord Shiva.

Three superb temples
SCHIRSTEEN,Feb 5, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00Three superb temples to visit near Gwalior... Mitaoli the round temple accessible after 100 steps (it would have inspired the construction of the Indian parliament), a quiet and inspiring place, Padavali the temple with multiple sculptures telling Indian legends and Bateshwar, the site of 200 temples. Particularly interesting and pleasant places to visit, especially since there are no Indian or foreign tourists. There were two of us, plus our guide.
