Dulah Deo Temple
This finest temple at Khajuraho also called Kunwar Math offers some of the choicest
sculptures especially the Shalbhanjika. It is a fully developed temple measuring
21 m by 12 m (69 ft. by 40 ft.) with the ardhamanadap, the mandapa, the maha
mandapa, the antarala and the garbha griha with no circumambulatory passage.
The ceiling of the maha mandap is a series of diminishing circles of overlapping
stones. There is an image of Shiva on the lintel of the entrance to the garbh
griha indicating that the temple was originally dedicated to Lord Shiva.

Chattarbhuj Temple
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.
