Brahma Temple, an architectural marvel, is an intrinsic part of the Eastern Group of Khajuraho Temples. Built in AD 900, it is renowned for being one of the oldest structures in this temple complex. It is located on the banks of Khajur Lake or Khajuraho Sagar. The temple is believed to be named after the Hindu Lord Brahma owing to the presence of a four-faced linga in the sanctum that represents the Creator of the World. However, historians are of the view that the temple was wrongly named, and it was actually dedicated to the Hindu Lord Vishnu. The reason for this belief is the presence of Vishnu’s image on the lintel of the door of the sanctum. Adding to the marvellous architecture of the sanctum is a pyramid-shaped sikhara or apex. Constructed using sandstone and granite, the temple is beautiful and awe-inspiring.

The temple is located on the banks of Khajuraho Sagar lake. It is incorrectly called Brahma Temple due to a misunderstanding by the local devotees ages ago. The sanctum of the temple contains a four-faced lingam, the symbol of Shiva, and local worshippers mistook this for a sculpture of the God Brahma, who is depicted in mythology with four faces facing the four cardinal directions. The garbhagriha (sanctum) also contains figures of Vishnu. However, they are believed to have been added later as the stones used are different from those used to make the temple. The temple was built in either ninth and earlier half of the tenth century.

Brahma Temple in Khajuraho is a beautiful and peaceful place to visit. The temple's unique feature of having a four-faced Shiva linga and its location beside a lake adds to its serene atmosphere.If you're interested in history and culture or looking for a peaceful place to spend some time, the Brahma Temple is definitely worth a visit.

A small ancient temple of Lord Brahma but not maintained well due to its locality in a residential area on the roadside. There is a lake but it's dry and dirty so does not add beauty to the place. However there are a few Brahma Temples in India so can visit.
