Javari Temple
जवारी मंदिर
A small Vishnu temple in the Eastern Group with graceful proportions. Its tall spire and intricate doorway are highlights.
Built around 1075–1100 and dedicated to Vishnu, Javari Temple is small, yet its slender tower and elegant proportions make it one of Khajuraho’s most refined small temples. The crocodile arch at the entrance and the lintel carvings are finely detailed, while the head of the Vishnu image inside has been damaged. The temple stands in the fields on the east side of the old village, near the Vamana and Brahma temples, so you can cycle between several Hindu temples in the Eastern Group. Entry is free.
