Laxman Temple
A possible day trip from Raipur, Sirpur is home to dozens of ruined Hindu temples and Buddhist monasteries, all dotted around the village and surrounding countryside. Many of the excavations are works-in-progress. All are free to see apart from the star of the show, the 7th-century Laxman Temple, one of the oldest brick temples in India.
