Lakshmana Temple, Hindu temple in Khajuraho, India
The Lakshmana Temple stands on a raised platform with detailed sculptures depicting deities, mythological scenes, and daily life activities across its exterior walls.
The Chandela dynasty constructed this sandstone temple in the 10th century, making it one of the earliest structures in the Khajuraho monument group.
The temple walls contain numerous carvings that illustrate the social customs, traditions, and religious practices of medieval Indian society through intricate stone reliefs.
The temple remains open from sunrise to sunset, with guided tours available in multiple languages to explain the architectural elements and sculptural meanings.
The main sanctuary houses a three-headed sculpture of Vaikuntha Vishnu, featuring human, boar, and lion faces representing different manifestations of the deity.
