The Chaturbhuja Temple is the only temple in Khajuraho, which lacks erotic sculptures.

Chattarbhuj Temple

Dedicated to Lord Vishnu, this temple has a massive 9ft high, intricately carved image of Lord Vishnu in Chaturbhuja (four-armed) form:

  • varada with his now broken lower right hand
  • abhaya with his upper right hand
  • holding a manuscript along with a lotus stalk in his upper left hand
  • holding a conch shell in his lower left hand.
