This is one of the oldest and most impressively designed temples of the western group of temples dedicated to Lord Vishnu. The lintel over the entrance of this beautiful Vaishnavite temple shows the trinity of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva with Lakshmi, Vishnu's consort.
The finely carved sanctum has a three-headed idol of Vishnu�s incarnations, Narsimha and Varaha. Emperor Lakshavarma is credited with building the Lakshmana-Chaturbhuja temple at Khajuraho. The image enshrined is said originally to be from Tibet and was gifted to Lakshavarma by the Pratihara ruler Devapala.
