The Lakshmana Temple is a Hindu temple located in the city of Khajuraho in the state of Madhya Pradesh, India. It is one of the many temples that make up the Khajuraho group of monuments, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The Lakshmana Temple was built in the 10th century AD by the Chandela dynasty, which ruled the region at that time. The temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu, one of the most important gods in the Hindu pantheon, and is considered to be one of the most beautiful temples in India.

The temple is known for its stunning architecture, which features intricate carvings and sculptures. The exterior of the temple is adorned with numerous images of gods and goddesses, as well as scenes from Hindu mythology. The temple is also known for its impressive tower, or shikhara, which rises over 60 feet (18 meters) above the ground.

The interior of the temple is just as impressive, with beautiful carvings and sculptures adorning the walls and ceilings. The temple also features a number of sanctums, or inner chambers, where devotees can offer their prayers and offerings to Lord Vishnu.
