History & tradition
Devi Jagadambika Temple is one of a group of about 25 temples at Khajuraho, Madhya Pradesh. The temples of Khajuraho were built by the rulers of the Chandela dynasty between the 10th and the 12th centuries, and they were listed together as a World Heritage Site for their architecture, art and historical importance. The Jagadambika temple stands in a group to the north and is one of the most finely decorated at Khajuraho. It is named after the goddess Jagadambika, and three bands of carvings encircle its body.
