Chaturbhuj Temple, also known as the Temple of Zero, is a rock-cut Hindu temple carved into the face of Gwalior Fort in Madhya Pradesh, India. Excavated in 875 AD by Alla—son of Vaillabhatta and grandson of the nagar brahmin Nagarabhatta—the temple exemplifies Hindu temple architecture of the early medieval period. Designated a Monument of National Importance, it remains a significant example of rock-carved religious architecture within the fort complex.
