Devi Jagdamba Temple
Devi Jagdamba Temple - Around 77 feet in length and 50 feet in breadth, this temple is now known by the name of Devi Jagdamba or the 'Mother Goddess of the World'.
It was originally believed to have been dedicated to Lord Vishnu as his figure occupies the centre of the entrance to the sanctum. It also has the figures of Lord Shiva and Lord Brahma to the right and left. Inside the sanctum, there is an elaborate statue of a four-armed female figure holding lotus flowers.
Another figure of Goddess Laxmi (consort of Lord Vishnu), is also present in the temple. Based on some inscriptions found here it is assumed that the temple was built in the tenth or eleventh century, the period in which the Chandela rule flourished.
A figure of Yama lies on the south side of the sanctum while a figure of Lord Shiva (eight handed and three headed) is present on the lower niche.
