Ganesh Bagh
गणेश बाग
The ruins of a palace garden built by Maratha nobles in the 19th century, with an elaborately carved Shiva temple and a seven-story stepwell, nicknamed 'Little Khajuraho.'
Located near Kalwi, it was built in the early 19th century by the Maratha noble Vinayak Rao as a summer retreat. The highlight is a five-spired Shiva temple whose outer walls are carved in a style imitating Khajuraho, hence the nickname 'Little Khajuraho.' Beside it are surviving palace remains and a multi-story stepwell. It is protected by the Archaeological Survey of India and sees few tourists. It can be visited on the way to the railway station.
