Chitragupta Temple, Khajuraho
The fourth temple at the back of the
western enclosure is called Chitragupta temple. Its design is similar
to Devi Jagdamba temple. A Unique feature of this temple is that it is
dedicated to the god Sun (Surya) driving his chariot with seven
horses. On the central niche, you can see an eleven-headed statue of
lord Vishnu. The central head is of lord Vishnu and the other 10 are
of his various incarnations. It has many other fine sculptures of
dancing girls, elephant fights and processions, etc.
