Ghantai temple, Jain temple ruins in Khajuraho, India.

The Ghantai temple features remaining tall pillars with carved chains and bells motifs, located in the eastern group of Khajuraho monuments.

The temple was constructed around 995 CE during the Chandela dynasty reign of King Dhanga and initially dedicated to Jain tirthankara Rishabhanatha.

The temple entrance displays an eight-armed figure of Yakshi Chakreswari sitting on a Garuda, along with six symbols from Mahavira's mother's dreams.

The monument welcomes visitors daily from 6 AM to 6 PM, with entry fees of 30 rupees for Indian nationals and 500 rupees for foreigners.

The temple measures twice the size of the nearby Parshvanatha temple and contains panels with dancers and musicians decorating the entrance porch ceiling.
