History & tradition
The Parvati Temple at Khajuraho, Madhya Pradesh, is dedicated to the goddess Parvati, consort of Shiva. It is one of the monuments of the Khajuraho Group, a World Heritage Site, and stands in the Western Group of temples, south-west of the Vishvanatha Temple. The small sanctum has been heavily restored; the porch is completely lost, and of the original sanctum only the plinth survives. Above the sanctum door are figures of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva.
