Category:Shanamukeshwar–Khanamukeshwar Temples, Bilaspur

The Shanamukeshwar temples of Bilaspur, also called Shanamukeshwar–Khanamukeshwar temples, are a group of two temples from 7th-century in the foothills of Himachal Pradesh. They were among the 28 temples of Old Bilaspur dated between 6th and 16th centuries that were submerged by the Gobind Sagar reservoir in the early 1970s by the waters of the Bhakra Nangal hydroelectric project.

The Shanamukeshwar–Khanamukeshwar temples faced the Vyasa cave in Lahanu Maidan part of Old Bilaspur. They are Nagara-style temples. The Khanamukeshwar temple was larger and was dedicated to Kartikeya, while the Shanamukeshwar temple was dedicated to Shiva. They stood on a jagati, and both have beautiful Hindu artwork. The two temples remain submerged most of the year, are in ruins and their artwork is now much eroded.

In style, the Shanamukeshwar–Khanamukeshwar temples show post-Gupta Empire Hindu temple features. They are one of two groups of Old Bilaspur temples that re-emerge into view during the winter and spring when the reservoir water levels fall. They get fully submerged during the monsoon season. When they become visible, regional Hindus visit the temples. In 2023, India launched a INR 1400 crore project to move the Shanamukeshwar–Khanamukeshwar and nearby Ranganatha temples to a higher level to boost tourism and create regional pilgrims facilities year round.
