Beejamandal, Khajuraho

The Beejamandal temple extends over 30 meters in length and contains numerous stone sculptures depicting human figures and detailed architectural elements throughout its structure.

Archaeological studies indicate that the temple was constructed during the 8th century and later underwent reconstruction in the 11th century under Emperor Naravarman's reign.

Local villagers maintained the sanctity of this temple mound for generations by lighting an oil lamp each night before its excavation began in modern times.

The temple grounds remain open to visitors from 6 AM to 5 PM daily, with convenient transportation options available through local cab and auto services.

Initial excavations suggest that Beejamandal could become the largest temple in the Khajuraho complex once archaeologists complete their ongoing exploration work.
