Lakshmi Temple, Khajuraho, Hindu temple in Khajuraho, India.

Lakshmi Temple sits on an elevated platform within the Western Temple Complex, featuring a front hall, inner sanctuary, and modest tower. The structure maintains a straightforward design with clean proportions and simple architectural elements throughout.

The temple was built in the mid-10th century, around 930–950 CE, during the Chandela dynasty, as a shrine for Garuda, the vahana of Vishnu. Its present name is a misnomer: the original dedication was to Garuda, and a damaged image of Brahmani installed in modern times is now worshipped as Lakshmi.

The name "Lakshmi Temple" is a misnomer: the shrine was originally dedicated to Garuda, Vishnu's vehicle, as its position facing the Lakshmana Temple's eastern entrance suggests. In the modern era a damaged image of Brahmani was installed inside and is now worshipped as Lakshmi. The temple is often locked and not open for regular darshan.

The shrine is usually kept locked and is not open for regular darshan, so visitors should not count on entering. It stands in the Western Group, immediately opposite the eastern entrance of the Lakshmana Temple and north of the Varaha Temple, which makes it easy to locate while walking between those two monuments.

The name is a misnomer: the shrine was built in the mid-10th century as a Garuda shrine facing the sanctum of the nearby Vishnu temple, following the same logic as a Nandi pavilion in a Shiva temple. A damaged image of Brahmani was placed inside in the modern era and is now worshipped as Lakshmi. The shrine is often kept locked.
