Jarai-ka-Math

The temple is a repercussion to the energetic temple-building exercise which grew to be a attribute characteristic of the Chandellas. The temple is devoted to Devi (Amba or Durga) whose multifarious types are represented in the profusely carved sculptures along the temple walls. The temple stands on increased floor dominating its surroundings. The predominant photo of the deity is lacking from the sanctum sanctorum. Only the pedestal, and the jeweled proper foot of a woman positioned on a lotus stalk, remains. This element is historically related with the goddess Tara or Mateswari. The placement of a miniature, sixteen-armed photo of a goddess on the central lintel of the entrance in addition helps the conjecture that the temple is devoted to a goddess. Erotic sculptures, akin to these at Khajuraho, additionally grace the Jarai-ka-Math.
