khajuraho, khajuraho temple - chausath yogini temple

Khajuraho was, for many centuries, a small obscure village in central India; in 1838 a British army engineer, captain T S Burt, visited the area and rediscovered an extraordinary group of temples built between the 10th and 12th centuries. Khajuraho is situated in Madhya Pradesh, south of the gangetic plain and north of the rising Deccan plateau. The expansive landscape of the state is cradled by the Vindhya and Satpura hill ranges and watered by large rivers, the Narmada and Chambal.

This is the oldest temple in western group built around 900 A.D. or perhaps earlier. It is the only temple which is built entirely of granite, and the only one oriented northeast instead of the usual north south. Chausath means 64 and the shrine contains the cells of 64 Yakshinis (nymps) who attended to Goddess Kali and only 35 survive. Another half kilometer west, you can see the Lalguan Mahadev temple, a shrine dedicated to Shiva and built of stone and granite.
