Which is the largest temple in the Khajuraho group?

The correct answer is C, Kandariya Mahadeva temple. The Kandariya Mahadeva is the largest and the most fully developed temple at Khajuraho, dedicated to Shiva and generally attributed to the reign of Vidyadhara in the first half of the eleventh century. Its sikhara is built up of dozens of smaller spires that climb towards the central peak, and the sequence of entrance porch, hall and sanctum along one axis is the textbook example of the mature Nagara plan.

Option A, the Lakshmana temple, was built by Yashovarman and is the earliest of the great temples of the western group, a Vaishnava shrine standing on a complete platform with four subsidiary shrines. Option B, the Vishvanatha temple, was built by Dhanga and comes between the two in date and size. Option D, the Chausath Yogini temple, is the oldest structure at the site and is built of granite rather than sandstone, but it is small and plain. Remember the order Chausath Yogini, Lakshmana, Vishvanatha, Kandariya Mahadeva.
