Most of the temples show dedication to Hinduism depicting gods and goddesses like, Shiva, Parvati, Krishna, Vishnu and Brahma, while a group of four temples are dedicated to Jain worship and a few even show architectural orientation suggesting a mixture of Buddhist and Hindu beliefs. The western temple complex is the largest comprising 3 statues, 9 temples, 2 water tanks and 1 open-air sanctuary. The Eastern temple complex is comparatively smaller, comprising 7 temples and a recently constructed statue. These apart, there is a classic collection of remains of ruined temples in The Archeological Museum in the Western Temple complex.
Khajuraho’s beauty is a result of skillfulness in the hands of artisans of Chandela Dynasty. There was a large group of more than 89 temples most of which suffered destruction. Those that remain have been preserved most delicately and are now a property of ASI.
