The Nilkantheshvara temple of Un is a late 11th-century Shiva temple in southwest Madhya Pradesh. It is in the middle of the Un village, with homes surrounding it.
The Nilkanthesvara mandir is a beautifully carved monument, though badly damaged. Much of the temple including its mandapa has been lost. A part of the antarala survives with the original sanctum doorway and Shiva linga. Parts of the sikhara and outer sanctum also survives, which is where the impressive artwork is. In front, about 50 feet away, a pillar from the original mandapa stands alone.
The notable artwork on the lintel, outer walls and ruins stacked near the temple include Nataraja, Saptamatrikas, Vishnu, Surya, Chamunda, Tripurari, Varaha and Natesa.
