Description


Duladeo Temple at Khajuraho

The Duladeo Temple (Devanagri: दुलादेव मंदिर) is a Hindu temple in Khajuraho, Madhya Pradesh, India. The temple is dedicated to the god Shiva in the form of a linga, which is deified in the sanctum.[2] 'Dulodeo' means "Holy Bridegroom".[3] The temple is also known as "Kunwar Math".[1] The temple faces east and is dated to 1000–1150 AD.[1] It is the last of the temples built during the Chandela period. The temple is laid in the seven chariot plan (saptarata).[4] The figurines carved in the temple have soft expressive features unlike other temples. The walls have a display of carved celestial dancers (apsara) in erotic postures and other figures.[5][6]
