Javari Temple, Khajuraho, Hindu temple in Eastern Khajuraho, India.

The Javari Temple features three bands of sculptures on its outer walls, with a sanctum, vestibule, mandapa, and entrance porch adorned with artworks.

The temple walls display detailed carvings of Hindu deities, including representations of Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, and the nine celestial bodies known as Nava-grahas.

The temple remains open daily from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM, with October and November offering the most favorable weather conditions for visits.

The entrance features a Makara Torana arch containing multiple small sculptures between its curves, while the main Vishnu idol inside stands without its head.
