Baruna Sagar

Barua Sagar is named after a large lake called Baruasagar Tal. This lake was created about 260 years ago when Raja Udit Singh of Orcha erected an embankment. A fort was built by him. The ruins of two old Chandela Temples, made of granite, are on the northeast of the lake. The older one is called Ghughua Math. Nearby is the later Gupta period temple called Jarai-Ka-Math. This is dedicated to Lord Shiva and Devi Parvati.
