History & tradition
The Brahma Temple at Khajuraho, in the Chhatarpur district of Madhya Pradesh, dates from the ninth or early tenth century and stands on the bank of the Khajuraho Sagar lake. Although it is named after Brahma, the temple is dedicated to Shiva: its sanctum holds a four-faced lingam, which local worshippers took for an image of the four-faced Brahma. With the other temples built under the Chandela dynasty, it forms the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Khajuraho Group of Monuments.
