Chausath Yogini Temple

 
This is the oldest temple in western group built around 900 A.D. or perhaps earlier. It is the only temple which is built entirely of granite, and the only one oriented northeast instead of the usual northsouth. Chausath means 64 and the shrine contains the cells of 64 Yakshinis (nymps) who attended to Goddess Kali and only 35 survive. Another half kilometre west, you can see the Lalguan Mahadev temple, a shrine dedicated to Shiva and built of stone and granite.
