History & tradition
Kakanmath is a ruined Shiva temple of the 11th century at Sihoniya in Madhya Pradesh. It was commissioned by the Kachchhapaghata ruler Kirttiraja, who reigned from about 1015 to 1035 CE; an inscription at the Sas-Bahu temple in Gwalior records that he built an extraordinary temple to Shiva. Only part of the original complex survives, and some of the sculptures from the site are now kept at Gwalior.
