It stands east of Ghantai. It is a shrine containg the statue of Adinath. The largest and the finest is called Parasvanath temple. Kandariya Mahadev undoubtedly is the best designed temple in Khajuraho but Parasvanath is larger, architectuarally perfect and has some great sculptures. Some of the best known classic sculptures of Khajuraho temple art can be seen here, a woman removing thorns from her foot; another woman applying her eye make up, etc. Originally dedicatd to Adinath, an image of Parasvanath was substituted some centuries later. And the temple, therefore takes its name from the image of Parasvanath. Santinath is another relatively modern Jain temple here, but contains many components from very old temples around Khajuraho. It also has a small museum.
