Tourist Attractions in Khajuraho
§ Lakshamana Temple

Lakshmana temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu, which was built around 930-950 AD during the reign of King Yasovarman of the Chandella kingdom. It houses a sacred image of Vaikuntha-Vishnu brought from Tibet . Though the temple is one of the oldest in the Khajuraho fields, it is also one of the most exquistely decorated, covered almost completely with images of over 600 gods in the Hindu Pantheon.

§ Devi Jagdamba Temple

This temple is considered by many to be the most erotic temples of Khajuraho. The temple houses the image of mithuna and the sensuously carved figures. It is said that the Devi Jagdamba temple was dedicated to Vishnu, but then rededicated to Goddess Kali. The temple is smaller in size. It has a long porch, a big hall. The balconies of the mahamandap are bigger than those of the other temples and five columns support the roofs over them.

§ Vishwanath and Nandi Temple

The temple enshrines a three-headed image of Lord Brahma. Lions guard the northern entrance to the structure, while elephants flank the southern flight of steps that lead upto it. The exteriors are profusely carved, and facing the shrine is a Nandi Temple with a massive, 6 ft high Nandi bull. The temple of Vishvanath and Nandi celebrates the marriage of Lord Shiva with Parvati.

§ Parsavant Temple

The temple stands within a walled enclosure to the east of the Khajuraho complex. It is one of the finest temples of the complex, precisely constructed and endowed with beautifully sculpted figures and an ornamental throne. It was originally dedicated to Adinath, but about a hundred years ago, an image of Parsvanath was instated there and since then it is referred to as the Parsvanath temple. Nearby are the Jain temples of Adinath, Shantinath and Ghantai. It is the finest example of the sensitive art without any sexual motifs.

§ Shantinath Temple

The Shantinath Temple is comparatively modern and was built a century ago with raw materials from older temples. The Ghantai Temple is now mostly in ruins with only the graceful carvings of the bell and chain motifs remaining. The Javari Temple dates back to AD 1075-1100 and are dedicated to Vishnu. The Vamana Temple is slightly older than the Javari Temple , standing alone in the middle of a field. And there is the Brahma and Hanuman Temple , the name confusing since the temple is actually dedicated to Vishnu .

§ Brahma and Hanuman Temple

The temple of Brahma and Hanuman is one of the oldest temples in Khajuraho. It is built mostly of granite and sandstone and is dedicated to Lord Vishnu . This is the oldest structure discovered here so far and is very interesting from the archaeological point of view.
