Javeri Temple, Khajuraho
The Javeri Temple built between 950 - 1150 A.D belongs to the Eastern Group of Khajuraho Temples (State: Madhya Pradesh). This is one of the three Hindu Temples built by rulers of Chandel Dynasty in this group.
This temple is a architectural gem. It is dedicated to Lord Vishnu. Its ornate gateway, the makara torana, and slender shikhara are especially noteworthy.
Like every other temple in Khajuraho, even this temple is also famous for the band of sculptures around the temple.
This is rear view of the temple.

Beautiful beautiful temple. (And once again I am laughing at myself since today we were marveling at homes that were built in the 1700s -- here in New England! (What can I say -- we don't really know what ancient beauty is over here, especially on the West Coast USA where we're from!)
