Virateshwar Mandir, Shahdol, Madhya Pradesh

Virateshwar Temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva, is situated at Sohagpur in the Shahdol District of Madhya Pradesh. It was built between AD 950 and AD 1050 by Kalchuri King Maharaja Yuvraj Deva.

This 70 ft high temple is a fine example of Kalchuri Age architecture. The statues of Mahavir, Shiva and Parvati in dancing posture, Saraswati, Ganesh, Vishnu, Narasimha, a beautiful young woman taking out a thorn, fighting men and Lord Krishna playing flute are eye-catching. Beautiful erotic postures related to Kamasutra, Vinavadini and Ardhnarishwar are also present.
