There are 25 temples today in their ruin state devoted to Hinduism, Jainism and partly Buddhism.

These temples are the epitome of Hindu Vedic Civilizations. All the erotic and non-erotic imagery is an integral part of the Vedic and Puranic Hindu philosophy as Dr Devangana Desai explains. The Lakshman Temple is an abode of Vaikuntha Vishnu. Kandariya Mahadev is for Shiva. It is interesting to know how many manifestations of Vishnu, Shiva, Shakti and more are magnificently placed here.
