Bijamandal mound

Description

Bijamandal mound is situated near Jatkari village of Khajuraho and around 3-4 kilometers away from western group of temples. This temple is located nearly 300 meters away from the jatkari or Chaturbhuj temple of khajuraho. The excavations conducted at Bijamandal during 2002 and 2003 have revealed the lower remains of a temple structure datatable to the 10th – 11th century C.E. The staggering thought is that these are the remains of what would have been the largest temple at Khajuraho, with a total length of 34.6m it trumps the Kandariya Mahadeva Temple by just over 4m.There are a large number of temple members scattered near the temple site. The Shivalingam and Yonipitham is still located on the top of the mound. The shivalingam is made of marble stone, and the temple is made of sandstone of Panna mines.
