Dated to the late 9th century, it is the oldest surviving temple at Khajuraho. Unlike the Chausath Yogini temples at other places, it has a rectangular plan. HistoryThe construction of the Chausath Yogini temple can be dated to approximately 885 CE.{{sfn|Rana P. B. Singh|2009|p=58}} It is the earliest extant temple at the Chandela capital Khajuraho.{{sfn|Ali Javid|Tabassum Javeed|2008|p=201}} The temple has been classified as a Monument of National Importance by the Archaeological Survey of India.{{sfn|ASI MP List|2016}} Ruins of Yogini temples have also been found at other places in and around the territory formerly ruled by the Chandelas or their feudatories, including Badoh, Bhedaghat Dudahi, Lokhari, Hinglajgarh, Mitaoli, Naresar, and Rikhiyan. This suggests that the cult of the Yoginis was well-established in the Chandela territory. The Chausath Yogini temples are connected to the Kapalika and Kaula sects.{{sfn|Manohar Laxman Varadpande|1987|p=291}} ArchitectureThe temple is located among the Western group of temples on a 5.4 m high platform.{{sfn|ASI Bhopal Chausath|2016}} It has a rectangular plan measuring 31.4 m x 18.3 m.{{sfn|ASI Bhopal Chausath|2016}}{{sfn|Ali Javid|Tabassum Javeed|2008|p=201}} Fourteen other historic Chausath Yogini temples have been discovered throughout India: the Khajuraho temple is the only one with a rectangular plan, all others have a circular plan.{{sfn|Shobita Punja|2010|p=39}} The temple is made of large, coarse granite blocks, with an open courtyard at the centre. The courtyard was originally surrounded by 65 shrine cells: 10 on the front (north) wall, 11 on the back wall, and 22 on each side. Only 35 of these 65 cells now survive.{{sfn|Ali Javid|Tabassum Javeed|2008|p=201}} Each cell has a small doorway and a curvilinear tower.{{sfn|ASI Bhopal Chausath|2016}} With the exception of a large cell, each cell is approximately 1 m high and 1 m deep. The large cell is located at the centre of the back wall, and faces the entrance at the north. It was probably a shrine of Durga. The other 64 ("Chausath") cells presumably housed the statues of yoginis.{{sfn|Ali Javid|Tabassum Javeed|2008|p=201}} SculptureThe temple ruins have no sculpture. Three large statues of goddesses, found among the ruins, are now located at the Khajuraho museum.{{sfn|Ali Javid|Tabassum Javeed|2008|p=201}} The goddess have been identified as Brahmani, Maheshvari, and Hingalaja or Mahishamardini. These statues are among the oldest sculptures of Khajuraho.{{sfn|ASI Bhopal Chausath|2016}} ReferencesBibliography{{ref begin}}
