Temple of Devi Jogadanta

Temple of Devi Jogadanta
The temple of Devi Jogadanta in Khajurāho, India, exemplifies a style of architecture that flourished in north central India from the 10th to the 13th century. The features of the style include a longitudinal layout, rich sculptural decoration on both interior and exterior walls, and a central spire surrounded by clusters of secondary spires. Because of its remote location, the temple complex in Khajurāho is better preserved than most Indian archaeological sites of comparable antiquity.
