Chattarbhuj
Temple-Khajuraho
Three
kilometers south of Khajuraho, in the village of Jatkari lie the
two temples now in ruins. One of them is a Shiva temple
enshrining a marble ligham. The other one enshries a 3.3 m (11
ft.) high image of Chatturbhuja (Vishnu) in the sanctum with an
expression of transcendental calm and bliss on its face.
Over the lintel of the doorway are carved exquisite figures of
Brahama, Vishnu and Mahesh. It is a nirandhara temple Khajuraho
of a modes tsize similar to Javeri in plan and design consisting
of a sanctum, mandapa and an entrance porch. The shikhara of the
temple is plain.
