Devi Jagdamba Temple

• The Devi Jagdamba Temple was originally dedicated to Vishnu, as indicated by a prominent sculpture over the sanctum’s doorway. 
• It’s now dedicated to Parvati, Shiva’s consort, but because her image is black—a color associated with Kali, goddess of wrath and an avatar of Parvati—it is also known as the Kali Temple. 
• From the inside, its three-shrine design makes the temple appear to be shaped like a cross. The third band of sculpture has a series of erotic mithunas. 
• The ceilings are similar to those in the Kandariya Mahadev, and the three-headed, eight-armed statue of Shiva is one of the best cult images in Khajuraho.
