Nandi Temple, Hindu temple in Khajuraho, India

The Nandi Temple features a rectangular platform with a cross quadrate structure, displaying detailed carvings of elephants and human figures on decorative borders.

The temple was constructed during the rule of the Chandela dynasty between the 9th and 11th centuries when Khajuraho served as their capital.

The temple houses a substantial stone image of Nandi, measuring 2.2 meters in length, positioned to face the Vishvanatha Temple as per Hindu architectural traditions.

The temple remains open for visitors throughout the year, with winter months providing the most suitable conditions for exploring the architectural details.

The temple structure incorporates balcony walls that create a partially open sanctum, supported by ornate pillars at each corner of the roof.
