Chaturbhuj Temple
चतुर्भुज मंदिर
The only temple in the Southern Group without lovers’ carvings. Its four-armed Vishnu standing statue is about 2.7 m tall, and it’s a good spot for sunset.
Chaturbhuj Temple lies south of the village of Jatkara and was built around 1100. It is the only large temple at Khajuraho that faces west, and also the only one without lovers’ themes in its carvings. Inside stands a dignified four-armed Vishnu statue about 2.7 m tall, and when the evening sun slants in, it lights up the shrine. The temple is surrounded by fields and villages, offering good sunset views and few visitors. It is about 5 km from the town centre, and entry is free.
