Parvati Temple, Hindu temple in Khajuraho, India.

The Parvati Temple stands within the Western Group of Temples, featuring intricate sculptures on its front wall and a small sanctum without its original porch.

The Chandela dynasty constructed this temple between 885 CE and 1000 CE as part of their extensive architectural program in the Khajuraho region.

The temple walls display detailed sculptures depicting Hindu deities, including representations of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva above the sanctum entrance.

The temple remains accessible throughout the year, with winter months from October to March providing the most suitable conditions for exploration.

While the front facade contains numerous sculptures, the side and back walls remain plain, creating an architectural contrast unusual for Khajuraho temples.

Location: Chhatarpur district

Founders: Chandelas of Jejakabhukti
