Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: The Jagadambi temple, so called after the image of Parvati now enshrined in the sanctum, was originally dedicated to Vishnu, as indicated by the prominence given to Vishnu on the sanctum-doorway. The temple stands on a lofty platform.
The square ceiling of its maha-mandapa hall is much simpler than the octagonal ceiling of the Chitragupta temple, which thus appears to be relatively more ornate and evolved and therefore slightly later in date than this temple. The sculptural embellishment of the Jagadambi is as rich as that of the best temples of Khajuraho. It is datable to circa A.D.1000-25 Century.

The rising sun showered magical colours on the temple and I found shooting from a corner gives a great perspective to the temple.
