Western Group of Temples Khajuraho
Kandariya
Mahadeo:
The
largest, most typical Khajuraho temple, it soars 31
m high. Dedicated to shiva, the sanctum sanctorum
enshrines a lingam. The main shrine is exquisitely
carved and features, in delicate detail, gods,
goddesses, celestial maidens and lovers.
Particularly noteworthy are the entrance arch, the
ceilings and pillars of the interior compartments.
Chaunsat Yogini: The only granite temple and the earliest surviving shrine of the group (900 A.D.), it is dedicated to Kali. Only 35 of the orginal 65 shrines remain. Another Kali temple (originally dedicated to Vishnu) is the Devi Jagdambe Temple. Chitragupta Temple: A
three- headed image of Brahma is enshrined in this
temple. The approach is equally impressive, with
lions flanking the northern and elephants the
southern steps that lead up to it. A Nandi bull
faces the shrine. Lakshamana Temple: The lintel over the entrance of this beautiful Vaishnavite temple shows the trinity of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva with Lakshmi, Vishnu's idol of Vishnu's incarnations, Narasimha and Varaha. This boar incarnation also appears in a nine-feet high statue at the Varaha Temple. Matangeswara Temple: Still a living place of worship, the temple is dedicated to shiva, has an eight feet high lingam, and is outside the precincts of the Western Group.
