The Eastern Group Khajuraho Temples

Make a trave to the temples of Eastern Group are enclosed within a high compound wall, although some of them are also scattered around the old village of Khajuraho. Several of the Jain temples are still in worship and contain sculptures and carved doorways from older ruined Khajuraho temples of the area.


¤ Parshvanatha Temple

Within the protected zone is the Parshvanatha temple, a medium-sized building compared to the western group. It is the largest of the Jain temples and has an image of Parshvanatha, a Jain Tirthankara in the sanctum. The temple has been heavily renovated in this century.
Some of the best known non-erotic sculptures of Khajuraho are found here, particularly the lovely sura-sundaris (celestial beauties) – one applying make-up and another removing a thorn from her feet on the southern façade and yet another tying on ankle-bells on the northern façade.


¤ Adinatha Temple

While the figures depicted in the Parshvanatha Temple are full and heavy, the sculpted figures of this temple are winsome and lithe. It has been partially restored over the centuries and has fine carvings on its three bands of sculptures.


¤ Other Eastern Group Khajuraho Temple Attractions

The other noteworthy temples here are the Shanti Nath (rebuilt from older temples, only a century old) and Ghantal (interesting delicate columns, although in ruins).
