Kandariya Mahadev Historical Temple in Khajuraho

Travel to westwards from the Lakshmana Temple, along the garden path one comes to the largest and most handsome monument at Khajuraho, the Historical Kandariya Mahadev Temple.Built in around 1025–1050 AD, this historical sandstone structure (like all the other temples built entirely without the use of cement and mortar) stands almost 30m above ground level and is as long as it is tall.The temple is dedicated to Shiva (the destroyer of the Hindu Trinity of Gods), with a linga (phallic representation of Lord Shiva) at the centre of the garbha griha (the womb or innermost chamber of the temple).
