Explanation:

It is dedicated to Shiva and was constructed in 999 by King Dhangadeva of the Chandela dynasty. The main shrine (garbhagriha) was the place for ritual worship where only the king, his immediate family and priests gathered. An ornamented gateway led to an entrance, and the main hall (mahamandapa) where dances were performed.
