Also in the western group is the Chaunsat Yogini , the only granite temple in the Khajuraho group. Dedicated to Kali, it is also unique in being quadrangular in plan. North of it facing eastward to the rising sun, is the Chitragupta temple , dedicated to the sun-god, Surya. The lavish lifestyle of the Chandela kings and their court is here in all its pomp and glory. Similar in plan to the Kandariya Mahadev is the Vishwanath Temple .
Lions flank the northern steps and elephants the southern, leading up to the temple.
Within, there is an impressive three headed image of Brahma. Since the first few Chandela rulers were devotees of Vishnu, there are some important Vaishnavite temples in the Khajuraho group, the finest of which is the Lakshmana Temple . The lintel over the entrance shows the trinity of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, with Lakshmi, Vishnu's consort. The sanctum is richly carved and has a three-headed idol of Vishnu's incarnations, Narsimha and Varaha. The boar incarnation also appears in another Vaishnavite shrine, the Varaha Temple .
