When you are walking towards the temple, you will see a beautiful pond on the right and in this pond you will see water lilies and lotuses. And among these you will find little egrets, pond herons, and grey herons, in their meditative hunt for food.

And while you are there, keep a watch out of an average-looking bird that transforms into the most vibrant creature as soon as it takes flight. Yes, the Indian Roller. Don't be in a hurry while visiting this temple. Try to reach here when the sun is setting.

The Chausath Yogini temple will be on your left. You climb a few stairs to reach the complex. Unlike most Chausath Yogini temples, this complex is rectangular, but it is still open air. The temple dates back to 9th century and is believed to be the oldest temple in Khajuraho.

The shrines are made of coarse granite blocks. Originally there were 65 such shrines surrounding the central courtyard. Of these only 35 survive now. There is no trace of the central shrine that is usually dedicated to Lord Shiva and is found in other Chausath Yogini Temples. However, the shrine across the courtyard, facing the entrance is much larger than the other shrines and is thought to be dedicated to Goddess Durga. Rest of the 64 shrines most probably were dedicated to Yoginis. Now, however, no statues are to be found in these ruins.
