Bhand Dewal Temple, dating from the mediaeval period, has a distinguished style of Jain architecture. This dilapidated Jain temple is situated at Arang in the Raipur District of Chhattisgarh. Assignable to the late 11th-century Bhumija style, the five-storeyed temple is stellate on plane with six offsets. Having ornate lofty socle and two bands of sculptures on the wall, it interprets the Bhumija mode in the regional Kalchuri style.
