In thehistoryof Indian artand Architecture Deogarh hasgot an important place. Deogarh is located at the western end of the Lalitpur range of hills, immediately overhanging the river Betwa, which marks a natural boundary line between the states of Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh. Most of the findings which were recovered from Deogarh are related with Jain religion; majority of temples and sculptures represent Jainism. Recent archaeological findings of this area have revealed that this site also has evidences of rock-cut images of Buddha and Hindu deities.
