Adinatha temple, Jain temple in Khajuraho, India.
The Adinatha temple features three bands of detailed sculptures on its exterior walls, displaying surasundaris, flying vidyadhara couples, and mythical creatures.
Built in the late 11th century, the temple contains a black schist statue of Lord Adinath with an inscription dated 1158 AD by donor Kumarnandi.
The temple combines Jain and Hindu elements, with external walls featuring Hindu deities while the interior niches display Jain Yakshinis Ambika, Chakreshvari, and Padmavati.
Located in the eastern group of Khajuraho temples, visitors can explore the preserved vestibule and sanctum, which maintain their original roof structures.
The temple walls present a sitting Adinatha with an ushnisha and dharmachakra, accompanied by a pot-bellied yaksha holding a cup and moneybag.
